Tursio + Azure VMs: Bringing Database Search to Microsoft Cloud
Tursio Editorial
Last Updated: February 12, 2026

A decade and a half ago, cloud computing rewired enterprise infrastructure. Companies that moved early gained agility; those that waited played catch-up for years. Today, a similar shift is underway. Except this time, it is about applying AI to the data that already lives inside organizations. Unfortunately, most enterprise data sit in operational databases and data warehouses, which is tightly governed, remains stubbornly hard for business users to access without expert intervention from an already-stretched data team.
Tursio exists to close that gap. We provide structured data search across enterprise databases, SQL Server, Azure SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Symitar, and others, as well as data warehouses like Fabric, Snowflake, and Databricks. Business users search in plain language, and Tursio returns accurate, governed answers by leveraging an automatically inferred context graph that understands the relationships within the data. The Tursio search tool further connects to popular agents such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and others, to infuse search throughout the organization.

The net result is that people (and AI agents) can search for internal data and improve how they operate, right from where they already work.
Consider this: agents were already spinning up more databases than humans in 2025. In 2026, they are likely to run more queries than humans. When an agent needs to look up a member's loan history, validate a claim status, or pull out a portfolio summary, it needs a reliable search layer that is consistent and trustworthy.
Tursio provides that layer. The context graph we automatically infer from the database gives both humans and agents a governed, accurate path to their internal data, without months of manual guardrail setup. This is what makes data truly accessible to all.

What's new: Tursio is now available as a VM extension on Azure
Today, we are excited to announce that Tursio is available as a VM extension on Microsoft Azure. Enterprises running on Microsoft Cloud can now deploy Tursio Search directly within their Azure environment, no additional infrastructure, no data leaving their security boundary. Spin up a VM, enable the Tursio extension, connect your databases, and your team can start searching in minutes.
Deep integration across the Azure ecosystem
This is not surface-level integration. Tursio now supports the broader Azure stack:- Databases and data warehouses: Connect to SQL Server, Azure SQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, alongside non-Azure sources like Oracle and Snowflake.
- Azure AI Foundry for LLMs: Use your organization's Azure-managed language models with full control over prompts, content filtering, and cost governance. Tursio also supports custom LLM endpoints for organizations with in-house model governance.
- Azure Entra for authentication: Plug into your existing identity provider. Role-based access controls in Tursio map to your organizational policies seamlessly.
- Microsoft Teams and Copilot via MCP: Business users and AI agents can search internal data from the tools already embedded in enterprise workflows, i.e., no context switching or new interfaces to learn.
The net result is that people (and AI agents) can search for internal data and improve how they operate, right from where they already work.
Why this matters now
Enterprise data access has a new consumer. The next wave of agentic applications is hungry for data: fast, accurate, and access-controlled data that can power automations and business outcomes.Consider this: agents were already spinning up more databases than humans in 2025. In 2026, they are likely to run more queries than humans. When an agent needs to look up a member's loan history, validate a claim status, or pull out a portfolio summary, it needs a reliable search layer that is consistent and trustworthy.
Tursio provides that layer. The context graph we automatically infer from the database gives both humans and agents a governed, accurate path to their internal data, without months of manual guardrail setup. This is what makes data truly accessible to all.
