-A DTU is a unit of measure of the resources that are guaranteed to be available to a standalone Azure SQL database at a specific performance level within a [standalone database service tier](sql-database-service-tiers.md#standalone-database-service-tiers-and-performance-levels). A DTU is a blended measure of CPU, memory, and data I/O and transaction log I/O in a ratio determined by an OLTP benchmark workload designed to be typical of real-world OLTP workloads. Doubling the DTUs by increasing the performance level of a database equates to doubling the set of resource available to that database. For example, a Premium P11 database with 1750 DTUs provides 350x more DTU compute power than a Basic database with 5 DTUs. To understand the methodology behind the OLTP benchmark workload used to determine the DTU blend, see [SQL Database benchmark overview](sql-database-benchmark-overview.md).
