NumeraSense / DBA Planning Toolkit / Cloud capacity

Azure SQL Sizing Advisor

Build a directional Azure capacity brief from measured SQL Server workload characteristics. Compare deployment models without assuming that on-premises cores translate directly to Azure vCores.

Workload inputs

Use representative peak measurements, not server nameplate capacity.

Deployment considerations

    Azure capacity guardrails (Microsoft documentation, reviewed October 2026)

    Choose a deployment model to review applicable limits.

    These are upper service-family bounds, not a claim that any particular tier or region supports your requirements. Verify SKU-specific compute, data size, memory, IOPS, and log throughput before purchasing.

    These are workload planning inputs—not a certified SKU recommendation. Azure compute performance, storage limits, IOPS, throughput, regional availability, licensing, high availability and pricing must be validated against current Microsoft documentation and representative workload tests.
