This one-day instructor-led workshop provides delegates with an
early opportunity to gain
insight into the nature and benefits of the Windows Azure
platform. Delivered through workshop style presentations and
hands-on lab exercises, the introduction will focus on three key
services - Windows Azure, SQL Azure and AppFabric.
Windows Azure Platform is an internet-scale cloud
services platform hosted in Microsoft data centers, which provides
an operating system and a set of developer services that can be
used individually or together. Windows Azure platform's flexible
and interoperable platform can be used to build new applications to
run from the cloud or enhance existing applications with
cloud-based capabilities.
SQL Azure extends the capabilities of Microsoft SQL
Server into the cloud as a Web-based, distributed relational
database. It provides Web-based services that enable relational
queries, search, and data synchronization with mobile users, remote
offices and business partners. It can store and retrieve
structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
AppFabric makes developing loosely coupled
cloud-based applications easier; AppFabric includes access control
to help secure your applications, as well as a service bus for
communicating across applications and services. These hosted
services allow you to easily create federated applications that
span from on-premises environments to the cloud.
