Ahead of the promised June 28 target, the SQL Azure team updated SQL Azure with Service Update 3 (SU3), providing new database sizes up to 50GB.
Web Edition databases can now be scaled to either 1GB or 5GB, while Business Edition databases have increments of 10GB, 20GB, 30GB, 40GB, and 50GB.
The Web Edition tiers are $9.99 and $49.95 monthly, while the Business Edition tiers are increments of $99.99.
The new database tiers come with a new pricing model that evaluates your maximum daily usage, and each day’s cost accrues at the appropriate tier, based on the database edition chosen. For instance, if a 20GB Business Edition database never exceeds 10GB, its daily rate accrues at the 10GB tier. On days in which the database exceeds 10GB, it accrues at the 20GB tier.
