Reduce dependence

Improve server utilization by paying as you go (including BYOL). Take advantage of a managed database service that provides high availability, updates, and replication, so you can focus on business value.

Global infrastructure

Industry-leading VM performance speeds up Windows boot times dramatically. Your databases run on Google’s global fiber network. The result is ultra low latency for your applications.

Fine-grained control

Custom Machine Types give admins control over the vCPU, RAM, and storage you provision for your virtual machine, to help ensure the ideal price-performance match for your enterprise applications.

Key features

Lift and shift SQL Server

Migrate your existing workloads to Cloud SQL or SQL Server running on Compute Engine with full compatibility. SQL Server running on Google Cloud works with all of your familiar tools like SSMS and Visual Studio. Connect your existing workloads to the best of what Google Cloud has to offer.

Reduce operational overhead

Cloud SQL for SQL Server is a fully managed database service with a 99.95% SLA. Being fully managed includes upgrades, patching, maintenance, backups, and tuning. Regional availability and various VM shapes with memory from 3.75 GB up to 416 GB and storage up to 30 TB for all workloads provide flexible scaling options to eliminate the need to pre-provision or plan capacity before you get started.

Live migration for underlying VMs

When you run SQL Server on Compute Engine, the virtual machines can live-migrate between host systems without rebooting, which keeps your applications running even when host systems require maintenance. Cloud SQL for SQL Server video tutorial
