All About Azure
Overview Azure, Microsoft's cloud-computing platform, is still a mystery to many Microsoft developers, customers, partners (and even competitors).
The final version of Azure is going to launch this fall -- with pricing, SLA terms and other details coming even sooner (this summer). Now is the time to get a handle on what Azure is and isn't -- and to gain a better understanding of what kinds of apps are best suited to being hosted via the Azure platform.
In this ZDNet Webcast, featuring ZDNet's "All About Microsoft" blog editor Mary Jo Foley will offer an Azure primer. She'll explain what Azure is -- from the base operating system level, to the higher-level services layers, to the "user experience." Foley will compare Azure to competing cloud platforms from Amazon, Google and other players. She will discuss how Microsoft is using and plans to use the platform itself. And Foley will differentiate between what we know about Azure from what many are anticipating from the platform.
Even if you're dragging your heels about moving your apps and data "to the cloud," it's not too soon to hear more about Microsoft's cloud plans.
This Webcast will provide a high-level overview of where Microsoft has been and where it's going in the cloud/utility computing market.
