Microsoft Releases Windows Azure at PDC
The first thing done in the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference conference is not providing full details about Windows 7, but introduce an operating system (OS) for cloud computing, called Windows Azure. Previously the polecat Steve Ballmer as "Windows Cloud," Windows Azure becomes the basis of the hosting service which gives it easy for developers to operate the application in the cloud computing infrastructure based on Windows - called Azure Services Platform.
Windows Azure as the foundation of the Azure Services Platform to help developers create applications cloud computing - so if you're not a developer, this may not be very meaningful to you, only means that Microsoft also has begun to enter the cloud computing world. Windows Azure is not an OS for user, they will still be using Windows 7, successor of Windows Vista.
Microsoft is not the first big companies that offer services such as this, since Amazon already offers the first affordable infrastructure cloud computing services with Amazon EC2 and Google App Engine. The difference, using the Azure Services Platform to give serious limitation for many developers to develop applications using the only technology that is supported such as Microsoft IIS and. NET.
According to Amitabh Srivastava, Corporate VP of Microsoft is one of the key developers of Windows Azure is a high have scalability infrastructure to operate the Microsoft-based application, offers a variety of services including virtualization, storage and networking and more, all operated in a data center owned by global Microsoft. Some of the main components of the Azure Services Platform are:
Windows Azure as a server for management and storage, computing and network
* Microsoft SQL Services for database services
* Microsoft. NET Services which is the implementation of the. NET in the cloud
* Live Services to share, store and synchronize documents, photos and files in a variety of PC, mobile phone and the site (similar to the Live Mesh may be?)
In addition, Microsoft also offers most of its corporate applications Microsoft Online Services to be used as a paid service. Famous products such as Microsoft Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, Office Communication Online and Office Live Meeting for the user without the need to maintain their own company.
And why Microsoft is now also start lift cloud computing paradigm? If one does not remember, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer a few years ago is one of the most hard cloud computing criticize, accuse Google Chrome as the issue as "the OS for the web application" but still only operated in Windows.
