Azure Disk Storage vs. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Block Volume vs. SQL Backup Master vs. SQL Server Data Access Components Comparison Chart

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Block Volume provide customers reliable, high-performance block storage designed to work with a range of virtual machines and bare metal instances. With built-in redundancy, Block Volumes are persistent and durable beyond the lifespan of a virtual machine and can scale to 1 PB per compute instance. All volumes have built-in durability and run on redundant hardware to achieve high reliability. Back up block and boot volumes to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Object Storage to enable frequent recovery points. Easily optimize storage size without provisioning constraints. Extend existing block and boot volumes from 50 GB to 32 TB while they are online, and without any impact to applications and workloads. Clone existing volumes or restore from backups to move to larger volumes. Easily clone existing block volumes without initiating the backup and restore process.

Enjoy the highest performance and unlimited possibilities when working with SQL Server. SQL Server Data Access Components (SDAC) is a library of components that provides native connectivity to SQL Server from Delphi and C++Builder including Community Edition, as well as Lazarus (and Free Pascal) for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms. SDAC-based applications connect to SQL Server directly through OLE DB, which is a native SQL Server interface. SDAC is designed to help programmers develop faster and cleaner SQL Server database applications. SDAC, a high-performance, and feature-rich SQL Server connectivity solution is a complete replacement for standard SQL Server connectivity solutions and presents an efficient native alternative to the Borland Database Engine (BDE) and standard dbExpress driver for access to SQL Server. SDAC-based DB applications are easy to deploy, and do not require the installation of other data provider layers.
