Microsoft announces latest Cloud database, cloud competition upgrades

"Editor's note" As part of Microsoft's ability to maintain a lasting innovation, in Thursday, Microsoft announced Azure Documentdb, a NoSQL database service, for the current release of proprietary database services, Microsoft Data platform, vice President Rengarajan said Microsoft has been very clear on the issue of Open source, But Microsoft is also actively looking for areas that can create real value for users. In fact, Microsoft also plans to documentdb client library open source.

The following is the translation:

In its DOCUMENTDB database service bulletin, Microsoft has taken a number of steps to ensure that the Azure cloud platform is a lasting attraction for developers. The new products also include Azure Search.

Documentdb This name may let us think of MongoDB or couchbase NoSQL database, but Microsoft Data platform Vice President T.k. Ranga Rengarajan In an interview that DOCUMENTDB is a brand new product. DOCUMENTDB allows SQL-like queries over semi-structured data, such as JSON files, and provides strong consistency support for transactional applications. To improve performance, it leverages the Hekaton technology that was incorporated into SQL Server earlier this year. It also contains. NET, Node.js, JavaScript, and Python libraries.

Given Microsoft's recent embrace of open source and the proprietary database services it now publishes, Rengarajan said Microsoft remains "a very positive attitude" on open source, but Microsoft is also actively looking for areas that can create real value for users. In fact, Microsoft also plans to documentdb client library open source.

For NoSQL, he added, "It's a long way in our minds." ”

In addition to keeping up with AWS in terms of price, Microsoft is on a par with AWS on the diversity of the public cloud, which shows that price is no longer the only way for Microsoft to compete with other cloud providers, and that cloud characteristics will play a bigger role in the competition.

Microsoft is an older player in a relational database, especially its SQL Server software, and already has an available SQL database cloud service. But Microsoft has not had a similar Amazon DYNAMODB database service and its Cloudsearch search service.

As cloud computing heats up, AWS has faced competition from Google, and Microsoft is taking cloud computing as one of its pillars after the new CEO, Satya Nadella, takes office. The company has increased its support for cloud computing, and Microsoft has referred to new data processing and machine learning as a more important position.

The latest product announcement of Thursday is that Nadella since the helm of Microsoft in February, one of the few focused data and product features, taking into account the hundreds of millions of dollar market behind it, and its ability to attract new developers and maintain Microsoft's dominance of cloud computing, is certainly not the last.
