64. Today we’ll help you answer the following questions… What is “Cloud Computing”? …and is Microsoft serious about it? What is Windows Azure? How much money will it save me? What will Windows Azure look like a year from now?
65. Today we’ll help you answer the following questions… What is “Cloud Computing”? It’s the ability to host part or all of our application or infrastructure in “the cloud”, for the sake of dynamic scalability, lower TCO, automatic resiliency, operational vs. capital expense, etc. …and is Microsoft serious about it? We’re betting a big portion of our business on it! So… YES! What is Windows Azure? Windows Azure is Microsoft’s implementation of a solid cloud computing foundation. How much money will it save me? Consider OpEx vs. CapEx. ..and use the TCO Calculator! What will Windows Azure look like a year from now? Even more options for application, data, and virtualization deployment, plus integrated tools to monitor and dynamically scale your applications.
