SQL Server uses a compute-storage separation architecture. The compute layer runs on high-performance cloud hosts while the storage layer holds your data in three independent replicas on NVMe cloud disk. A failed compute node is simply replaced — data is never at risk.
One of the most common hidden costs in enterprise SQL Server deployments is licensing. NubexCloud includes it — so you never need to think about it again.
NubexCloud SQL Server instances come with Microsoft's genuine Enterprise Edition authorization. You get continuous access to the latest features and security updates without copyright risk. Your enterprise is always compliant — and more trustworthy in your market.
