# Set up Azure Relay for Database connection

You can connect D365 F&SCM to an external on-premises database. If you connect to an external on-premises database, you must connect through firewalls. With Connectivity studio, you can connect to an external on-premises database using an Azure Relays.

To establish a connection between an external on-premises database and D365 F&SCM with Connectivity studio, these elements must be in place:

1. Azure Relays namespace.
2. BIS Azure Relays client installed on the external on-premises server.
3. Data Source Name (DSN) on external on-premises server.
4. Database connector and ODBC document in Connectivity studio on D365 F&SCM.

This picture gives an architectural overview of the Azure Relays solution in Connectivity studio with the required elements. (Note: The numbers in the picture correspond with the before-mentioned element numbers.):

Prerequisites to establish this connection:

- Azure subscription.
- D365 F&SCM with Connectivity studio installed.
- External on-premises server and database.
