The Total Economic Impact
Microsoft Azure SQL Database Managed Instance is a new deployment option that provides organizations the ability to migrate their on-premises SQL Server applications and databases onto a fully managed SQL Server in the Azure cloud.
To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with this investment, Forrester interviewed several customers who have migrated their SQL Server data onto a managed instance.
Azure SQL Database Managed Instance is a fully governed and managed PaaS (platform-as-a-service) with built-in intelligence that enables easy migration onto the Azure cloud.
