The researchsupport@it.ox.ac.uk team in IT Services is able to give support and advice on storing data or databases in Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft Azure is a cloud-based service provided by Microsoft for the creation, implementation, and management of virtual machines, databases, and many other applications and services stored in Microsoft's international data centres. It can provide software as a service, platform as a service and infrastructure as a service and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.
It provides easy setup of MS SQL databases but if using this as a source for interactive data visualizations then it is recommended that you contact researchsupport@it.ox.ac.uk for further advice and support.
