Azure Windows

 Microsoft continues its strategic software transformation. It was during the first keynote of the PDC2008 (Professional Developers Conference, from Oct. 27 to Oct. 30 in Los Angeles) that Ray Ozzie, chief software architect for the company introduced Windows Azure. Windows Azure is a new offering designed specifically for "cloud computing". Cloud computing is internet based applications and dveelopment.




Incorporating a layer of virtualization, it automatically handles the problem of load distribution by distributing and requesting resources between data centers based on volume. In short, the whole infrastructure of datacenters will support applications and emphasize security and high availability. This solutions architecture will be built around SQL Server, Active Directory and .Net technology.


Windows Azure is not an OS. It constitutes the foundation for a platform for broadcasting services in a "cloud". It is built around Live Services .Net Services, SQL Services, SharePoint Services and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Services. This allows any company to expand services very easily.


The great strength of Windows Azure is the mode of development services. The programmer can use all the languages of the .Net platform to create a service, including Visual Basic .Net. Microsoft is trying to develop cloud computing services for everyone. Note that Windows Azure is open to other development tools and other programming languages (eg Eclipse and PHP).


The Windows platform allows Azure to create services, which range from simple to complex. It also allows companies to extend upon existing online applications. Microsoft Azure is the first step in the progression, evolution and migration of client based applications to web based services.

Technology

 Technology, that's what got us all into this mess isn't it? The internal combustion engine, jet propulsion, mechanized farming, power stations , pesticides, industrial pollution; the list goes on, and on. And now we're due to pay the price with both global warming and oil depletion looming as a result of squandering the earth's resources to feed our addiction to technology . Surely, since technology is so clearly to blame, we should strive to roll back the tide and oppose further so-called technological progress? Do I hear any takers for this proposition? A return to a golden age , lit by candles at night and warmed by the crackle of logs in countless hearths; a renaissance of home grown crops, chickens in the yard and beating your clothes on a rock down by the river just like you see in the movies? Oh I'm sure there are some diehard romantics who buy into the self sufficiency fantasy, but the really inconvenient truth is that if we all set about burning logs to

Small Business Technology

 It is no secret to anyone that the economy is affecting every portion of the business sector. But most of the so called experts are ignoring the backbone sector of our country....small business owners. It is these small business owners that collectively employ the most employees , contribute the most to the spending channel of our economy and provide the most services that other small business owners need. As a small business consultant, I continue to wonder in amazement the number of business owners who do not or refuse to leverage available technology to not only run their own business efficiently but also use technology to actually reduce costs. I recently was asked to consult with a local, yet popular optician who has been running a well respected and successful business for over 20 years. Why did he call me? He was looking for a way to bring in more customers and increase business as a way to offset rising costs for his products and services. Here is just a sample of what I f
