SQL Transaction Processing, Price-Performance Testing: Microsoft SQL Server Evaluation: Azure Virtual Machines vs. Amazon Web Services EC2

This report outlines the results from a GigaOm Transactional Field Test, derived from the industry-standard TPC Benchmark™ E (TPC-E), to compare two IaaS cloud database offerings:

  1. Microsoft SQL Server on Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instances
  2. Microsoft SQL Server Microsoft on Azure Virtual Machines (VM)

Both are installations of Microsoft SQL Server, and we tested Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS.
