Project “Huron”. Early Adopter Program. Cloud Sync.

In case you missed it, here’s an update on Project “Huron”. For those new to it, this is an incubation project built by Microsoft to provide database “friction free” (this is a one of those Microsoft terms that basically means simple to setup) synchronization capabilities to the Cloud (SQL Data Services) via a hosted Sync Service sitting within the Azure data centers. The goal is to remove the typical complexities (configuration, scalability, security, etc) involved with sharing database information between local databases such as SQL Server and SQL Compact and provide simple UI tools for configuration and sync components developers can embed in existing applications.

Do you want to participate? There is direct support SQL Server and SQL Compact (desktop and devices). In fact they are very close to the point that they want to start taking on some early adopters to help them solidify the first release. They’re looking for any customers that want to share SQL Server or SQL Compact databases via the cloud and have an existing project that would warrant this functionality. If you are interested please contact the team here. I did, and got to fill up a questioner. I’l let you know how is going.
