Wasted Money<br />

14.
Why Windows Azure?<br />Flexibility to easily change resource commitments over time<br />New resources can be deployed (or removed)<br />Platform can run existing on-premises apps without change<br />Platform designed specifically for high-scalability and high availability application requirements<br />

15.
Giving Developers a Choice<br />You choose the language, platform, and tools of your choice (even with Microsoft Visual Studio!)<br />

Deployment Options<br />Ideal environment for creating new cloud services<br />Applications can be extended into the cloud<br />Applications can be migrated to the cloud<br />Extend an existing application to store, or archive data in the cloud<br />

17.
Applications…<br />That need massive scalability<br />That need a very high degree of reliability<br />With extremely variable loads<br />With short or unpredictable lifetimes<br />That either fail or scale fast<br />That don’t fit well within an existing data center<br />That can benefit from access to limitless external storage<br />

Windows Azure Storage<br />Tables, Blobs, and Queues<br />Corruption-free, highly available, and scalable to demand<br />

20.
BLOB<br />Binary Large Object (BLOB)<br />For storing text or binary data<br />

21.
Queue<br />For reliable, persistent messaging between services<br />

22.
