Windows Azure Drive (aka X-Drive)(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 3 months ago

With today’s release of the Windows Azure Tools and SDK version 1.1, also the Windows Azure Drive feature has been released.

This allows the Windows Azure application to mount a page blob as a drive letter, such as X:, and enables easily migration of existing NTFS applications to the cloud. This blog post will describe the necessary steps to create and/or mount a virtual hard disk on a Windows Azure role instance. read more...
