SQL Performance

FEBRUARY 26, 2020

Organizations are taking advantage of having managed backups, lots of built-in security features, an uptime SLA of 99.99%, and an always up-to-date environment where they are no longer responsible for patching SQL Server or the operating system. One size does not always fit all. Managed Instance provides two tiers for performance.
