Microsoft SQL Services is now Microsoft SQL Azure – let the rebranding process begin After not initially supporting TDS the name is now changing to the Azure brand.

Microsoft is updating the branding for SQL Services and SQL Data Services. Effective immediately, SQL Services will be called Microsoft SQL Azure, and SQL Data Services will be Microsoft SQL Azure Database.

There will be more news and updates related to our Software + Services strategy next week at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans. For those of you not attending in person, all the news and information can be found at: http://www.digitalwpc.com/ . Check back often starting next Monday, July 13, for daily updates.

More about TSQL Support in SQL Data Services can be found here. Another announcement of this can be found at “SQL Azure – Same great platform, just a better aligned name”

Apparently its a ‘Cloudy’ week
