 The year 2010 was an exciting one for developers, customers, and Microsoft as we all made the dive into the cloud with SQL Azure and the Windows Azure platform. The year 2011 is already shaping up to be even more exciting</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)</generator><item><title>re: SQL Azure - The Year in Review</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlazure/archive/2011/01/04/10111592.aspx#10111856</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Jan 2011 04:05:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:10111856</guid><dc:creator>Phani</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Steve,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Great progress on SQL Azure front by Microsoft and this technology is evolving blazing fast. I bow down to Microsoft efforts in addressing customer requirements at such a pace.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are waiting for next service release of SQL Azure to explore more on SSRS and Sync framework front. Any tentative dates on when this is going to be released?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, another challenging area which I see with cloud is internet bandwidth. In some of the demos of SQL Azure itself, the presenters were unable to showcase the demos successfully due to the poor bandwidth of internet at the location. I would request you to point me to any article/content/you can help in addressing such issues. I am specific about handling transactions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Phani&lt;/p&gt;
