 SQL Azure is managed using the Windows Azure management portal. Each Azure subscription can contain multiple logical SQL Azure servers. A SQL Azure server is a logical group of databases and acts as a central administrative point for multiple databases. Once your server is created, a read-only master database and a server-level principal login are created automatically.
 In each database, you can create tables, views, indices, stored procedures and other database objects. To enable load balancing and high availability, databases associated with your SQL Azure server reside on multiple physical computers in the same geographic region as your server.

Why Mobile? If your company isn't mobile, you're missing opportunities. Example: If you're in the hospitality or food and beverage industry, it's likely that your guests are on the road. Are they going to find a mobile version of your site? If you are in an industry where any number of your potential customers are on the road, you need to be mobile. If you sell to a youth market, you need to be mobile. If you've produced TV spots, increase your reach and frequency without buying more air time by putting them on your mobile site.
