20. Windows Azure Windows Azure is a cloud services operating system that serves as the development, service hosting and service management environment for the Windows Azure platform. Windows Azure provides developers with on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage web applications on the internet through Microsoft® datacenters.

21. Microsoft’s Unique Hybrid Approach Windows Azure supports multiple languages and integrates with your existing on-premises environment. To build applications and services on Windows Azure, developers can use their existing Microsoft Visual Studio expertise. In addition, Windows Azure supports popular standards, protocols and languages including SOAP, REST, XML, Java, PHP and Ruby. Windows Azure is now commercially available in 40 countries.

22. Live Services:Connect with Windows Live with over 500 million people love and use Windows Live services such as Messenger, SkyDrive, and Hotmail. Connect your site with them, their friends, and the things they care most about. We are currently in limited beta testing .NET Services:Service Bus helps to provide secure connectivity between loosely-coupled services and applications, enabling them to navigate firewalls or network boundaries and to use a variety of communication patterns. Services that register on Service Bus can easily be discovered and accessed, across any network topology. SQL Services:Microsoft® SQL Azure™ Database is the secure relational database based on familiar SQL Server technologies that you’ve come to rely on. The difference is that it’s a cloud database running in Microsoft datacenters around the globe. High-availability and fault tolerance are built in – giving you the ability to start small or serve a global customer base immediately.

23. Content Distribution Network (CDN) The Windows Azure content delivery network (CDN) enhances end user performance and reliability by placing copies of data closer to the user. A user accesses a proximate copy of the data as opposed to having to access a set of central servers. The Windows Azure CDN supports HTTP delivery of public content stored in Windows Azure storage. Content types include web objects (e.g. JPG, CSS, and JavaScript), downloadable objects (media files, software, documents) and other components for Internet delivery. Benefits of the CDN include better performance and user experience for end users who are farther from the source of the content, and are using applications where many ‘internet trips’ are required to complete the loading of a WEB page, and large distributed scale to better handle instantaneous high load, say at the start an event such as a product launch.

25. An independent software vendor (ISV) that creates a SaaS application targeted towards business users.

26. Perform large-volume storage, batch processing, intense or large-volume computations

28. Efficiency:Efficiency: Windows Azure improves productivity and increases operational efficiency by lowering up-front capital costs. Customers and partners can realize a reduction in Total Cost of Operations of some workloads by up to 30 – 40% over a 3 year period . The consumption based pricing, packages and discounts for partners lower the barrier to entry for cloud services adoption and ensure a predictable IT spend. See Windows Azure pricing.

29. Focus:Focus on delivering services and value to your customers – and not on managing technology infrastructure. Windows Azure enables you to spend less time on operational hurdles and more time focusing on your competitive differentiators.

30. Simplicity:Utilize your existing skills in familiar languages such as .NET, Java and PHP to create and manage web applications and services.
