Microsoft Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server — Enterprise License (per core)

Microsoft Azure Arc-enabled SQL Server is a hybrid data services offering that extends Azure management capabilities to SQL Server instances running on-premises, at the edge, or in third-party cloud environments. The solution provides unified visibility, governance, and operational management across distributed SQL Server deployments without requiring migration to Azure infrastructure.

This per-core licensing model enables enterprises to apply their existing SQL Server investments to hybrid architectures, combining on-premises data residency requirements with cloud-native management tools. Arc-enabled SQL Server integrates with Azure services including Azure Monitor, Azure Policy, and Azure Update Manager, delivering consistent operational patterns across hybrid estates.

The offering targets organizations modernizing legacy SQL Server infrastructure while maintaining on-premises deployment flexibility. It supports SQL Server 2012 and later versions, accommodating diverse technology debt scenarios across enterprise data centers.

Ideal for

• Hybrid SQL Server management for enterprises with data residency or sovereignty compliance requirements preventing full cloud migration
• Unified monitoring and patching across geographically distributed SQL Server instances from a centralized Azure portal
• Legacy SQL Server modernization without immediate migration, enabling incremental adoption of cloud operational practices
• Multi-cloud and on-premises SQL Server governance under consistent Azure Policy frameworks
• Automated backup and disaster recovery orchestration for on-premises SQL Server using Azure services
• Cost optimization analysis and resource utilization visibility for SQL Server workloads across hybrid infrastructure
