Together, these new features help ensure your data is backed up and recoverable, adding resiliency to your organization.

Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB

With its support for hierarchical data and flexible schemas, organizations use Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB NoSQL database for a variety of purposes. Azure Cosmos DB helps drive everything from retail and marketing metrics to personalized application experiences.

Combining these features allows organizations to manage, backup, and restore data in the way that works best for them.

Azure v7 Brings Additional Improvements

We’ve increased support for scalability in large deployments. With improved scalability, organizations can now effortlessly scale their environments up or down depending on their needs. Not only does this ensure seamless performance but it gives organizations the freedom to make changes in real-time. We’ve also enhanced the UI/UX experience so that console users can find the information they need even more efficiently.
