SQLVM: Performance Isolation in Multi-Tenant Relational Database-as-a-Service

Summary: SQLVM: a DBMS abstraction that reserves CPU, I/O and memory per tenant to provide performance isolation in multi-tenant DBaaS without static partitioning. Lightweight enforcement and metering implemented in Microsoft SQL Azure, scales to many tenants and yields markedly improved isolation with low overhead. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
