Windows Azure Platform. Inside the Cloud. Microsoft's Cloud World Explained Part 2. - A... - 0 views

  • Windows Azure provides three core components, Compute, Storage and the Fabric, along with the Fabric controller. Compute is effectively the Windows operating system, this is an instance. These instances contain a copy of your application. Instances also come in two flavours, a Web Role or a Worker Role. Web roles accept and process HTTP requests using IIS. Not everything you may want to run in Windows Azure is a Web application, so Windows Azure also provides Worker roles. A Worker role instance is quite similar to a Web role instance. The key difference is that a Worker role does not have IIS preconfigured to run in each instance. Web and Worker roles can communicate with each other via technologies like WCF, or using Windows Azure Storage queues.
  • Windows Azure platform Appfabric Windows Azure platform AppFabric is made up of two components, Service Bus and Access Control. Before going into these two components it’s worth noting that there is also a product called Windows Server platform Appfabric, currently these two “Appfabric” products are different, however they are the same product teams within Microsoft and their product roadmap includes closer synergy over time.

  • Ning within our platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easily building social networking applications; Salesforce within its platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easily building enterprise applications; Second Life within its platform provides a whole suite of APIs for easy building objects that live and interact within Second Life. EC2, at least for now, has no such ambitions, and is content to be more of a generic hosting environment.

  • I think that kids coming out of college over the next several years are going to wonder why anyone ever built apps for anything other than "the cloud" -- the Internet -- and, ultimately, why they did so with anything other than the kinds of Level 3 platforms that we as an industry are going to build over the next several years -- just like they already wonder why anyone runs any software that you can't get to through a browser.

    "This post is my attempt to disentangle and examine the topic of "Internet platform" in detail. I will go at it by identifying three distinct approaches to providing an Internet platform, and project forward on where I think each of the three approaches will go. At best, I might be able to help make a new landscape clear. At worst, hopefully I can at least provide one framework for future discussion."

Plan your future beyond End of Support for Windows & SQL Servers 2008/2008 R2 - 0 views

  •  
    Microsoft's decision to retire its Windows and SQL Servers 2008 and 2008 R2 is not a sudden move. Mainstream support for Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008/2008 R2 ended on January 13, 2015, and July 8, 2014, respectively. So, the fast-approaching EOS dates herald the end of extended support for both Microsoft products. There will be no more updates, security patches or support to help you tackle a bug in production or a security breach in your data or applications.

Hyper-Scale your Microsoft Azure Business - 0 views

  •  
    Service providers need to realize that the Cloud business is different than their earlier offerings - traditional hardware or solution and infrastructure managed services. They must transform quickly and direct their focus on modern applications, platform-as-a-service (PaaS), or containers and PaaS rather than just on infrastructure management. The only way forward is to incorporate agility in operations, leverage new-age toolset, establish governance, increase optimization, and invest in security as an integral part of managed services.
