What is Microsoft Azure?
Tools for Research
• Virtual Machines
• Storage, backup, recovery
• Big compute
• SQL databases
• Identity and access management
• Application development
• And more
Open and Flexible
Supports any operating system, language , tool, and framework
including Linux, Python, Java, Hadoop, and the Microsoft .NET
Framework
Cloud Computing Platform
Infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications
and services
Who is our Target Audience?
• Academic, government, and industry researchers
• Non-commercial researchers in academia across multiple disciplines, such as
computer science, biotechnology, genomics, urban sciences and climate change
“This project is a unique opportunity to put
together ecologists and computer
scientists, and develop new tools to
analyze data and visualize big datasets.”
-Rafael Oliveira, Professor of Ecology,
University of Campinas
VIEW CASE STUDY
“We wanted to combine the knowledge
and the science of the academic
community with the first response
capabilities of our public safety entities.
We had the tools and the ability—we just
needed to put them together.”
-Harry Evans, Chief of Staff,
Austin Fire Department
VIEW CASE STUDY
How Does Azure Help Researchers?
• Access quick experimentation without significant capital investment
• Recreate test environments in the cloud for boosted processing
power
• Run multiple virtual machines to run parallel data simulations
• Store data captured by instruments or sensors in Azure Tables
• Share information between multiple applications with Azure Queues
• Build websites to communicate findings
• Extend the scope of research applications to mobile devices
• And more…
