title: SQL Azure connectivity issue after concurrent connections
body: <p>is there any limit on the number of concurrent connections that can be established on SQL azure database.
  this is the situation that i am facing:
  i have a website which is hosted on a Windows server 2008 R2 virtual machine to which many users will connect and the database is created in SQL azure.
  we have observed that when there are too many concurrent connections, there is a connection loss meaning any further connections with the correct usernames and passwords to the website fail to login. no user will be able to login to the website for atleast 40 minutes after which the same usernames and passwords successfully log the users into the website.</p>
  
  <p>is this throttling issue or what actually happens when multiple users try to login and perform multiple time consuming activities.
  what is the step that i can take to resolve this issue. does the session the multiple users open causing this error.can you please tell me the exact thing and the steps i need to take to avoid such a situation.</p>
