Intensive use for 15 days (RegistrationStudent)

First two days extremely intensive

CURRENT PROBLEM


6/25

Old information system

Hardware solution with no possibility to

upscale in an easy way

CURRENT PROBLEM


7/25

Virtualization New hardware for computing and upscaling

New Storage

New knowledge



8/25

Advantage High availability

Easy upscaling

Flexibility



9/25

Disadvantage

Price:

High Cost for hardware virtualization

Cost for software licensing

Cost for Service Level Agreement (SLA) Technical expertise

High availability need that hardware to bethere sitting waiting to be used



10/25

The cloud option was clearly the winner,

mainly for three reasons: the price;

The Microsoft developers community;

the underlying services

THE AZURE CLOUD OPTION


11/25

The Price:

The price means that instead of buying a neand expensive, hardware for a load-balancinarchitecture, we could pay per usage.

In this case, it is a huge difference, considerithat half of the resources would only be usea couple of times a year.



12/25

The Microsoft developers community:

Choosing Microsoft was a matter of continuconsidering our expertise in windows serverdatabase and .NET/C# development.



13/25

The underlying services

The underlying cloud services guarantee a fService Level Agreement (SLA), regardinguptime and system administration, together

with a solid development architecture.Programming for the cloud, means thatprogrammers have to comply with a scalablsoftware solution.
