While I'm moving into the JavaScript framework universe, I've been increasingly exposed to Platform as a Service (PaaS) options like Heroku and Azure. That-being-said, I don't every think I'll leave my old MS Access / MSSQL databases behind entirely. <br />
<br />
Here's what I'd love - A Heroku-ish or Azure-ish platform to which I could point my subcontractors and instruct them fully deploy the MS Access/MSSQL application on which they're working to a point where my QA/QC subcontractors or I can test it fully. <br />
<br />
Sure, I could setup a VM on a Windows box, install MSSQL, and MS Access, and give my subs remote access, but I want to someone else to take care of the process for me. I'm happy to pay well for such a service. <br />
<br />
Suggestions are appreciated.

Cloud based environment for Access/MSSQL apps

Cloud services are services made available to users via the Internet from a provider's servers. Cloud services are designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications, resources and services, and are fully managed by a cloud services provider. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Frequently offered cloud services are infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), desktops-as-a-service (DaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS). Examples of cloud services include online data storage and backup solutions, Web-based e-mail services, hosted office suites and document collaboration services, database processing, managed technical support services and more.

Cloud Services

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.

Cloud Computing

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
