The deployment of applications to the Web and the cloud has produced unique database challenges and solutions. Some of these solutions include the refinement of multi-tiered architectures, while other solutions include the adoption of database management systems that do not use the relational model.
For your initial post, research Web-based database technologies and identify a database management system (other than SQL Server, MySQL, or Oracle) that is used to deploy applications to the Web and the cloud. Discuss the database management system and its unique capabilities. How does the database management system differ from those used for the lab exercises and the final project? What benefits does the database management system offer to organizations that are deploying applications to the Web and the cloud?
When responding to your peers, please discuss similarities and differences of the database management system to relational database management systems. Indicate whether you agree with the stated benefits and why, as well as any additional benefits or disadvantages you associate with the database management system.

Cloud hosted computing solutions offer many advantages over on-premises computing solutions. Today, there are many cloud providers for various platforms, including web hosting, application development, and database. Microsoft Azure SQL database is Microsoft’s cloud hosted relational database management system hosted in their Azure cloud. Azure SQL database offers many of the same advantages that typical cloud products can, including easier scalability and redundancy (Scherocman, 2016). One of the major benefits with scalability is allowing users who don’t have a large database need to be able to put their database in SQL databases, where previously, the large costs associated with software licensing and hardware procurement was limiting their need. Further, small and large database needs no longer have to worry about planned or unplanned downtime as Microsoft Azure cloud manages updates, as well as having redundancy that is likely not achievable for many databases.
One of the neat things with Azure SQL database, as described by Matt Scherocman (2016), is the ability to easily migrate an on-premises database to Azure cloud. Further, as noted above, one of the positive additions with cloud hosted is there are no on-premises administrative work required, as system updates no longer interrupt with planned downtime.
