Microsoft Dynamics AX7 will be a cloud-based ERP solution that utilizes Visual Studio as the development IDE and SQL Server 2016 as the data repository. It will be managed through Lifecycle Services (LCS) which can contain multiple tenants for different customers. Each tenant can have various development and production environments. AX7 will be available on a private cloud 6 months after its initial release, which is expected in early 2017. From a development perspective, AX7 will utilize current technologies like Visual Studio instead of MorphX and SQL Server 2016 instead of standard SQL. It will also leverage real-time analytics instead of using AX SSRS. Database isolation between tenants will exist in the public cloud version of AX7
