An on-premise .NET application uses an on-premise Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database.
The existing compute infrastructure is insufficient to support peak loads.
You plan to move only the compute-intensive component of the application into Windows Azure.
The component requires access to the on-premise database.
The on-premise database cannot be accessed from outside the network boundary.
You need to recommend a database topology.
What should you recommend?
A. Use SQL Azure for the on-premise components and the compute-intensive component.
B. Configure merge replication with the on-premise database as publisher and the SQL Azure database as subscriber.
C. Configure snapshot replication with the on-premise database as publisher and the SQL Azure database as subscriber.
D. Configure snapshot replication with the SQL Azure database as publisher and the on-premise database as subscriber.
