submitted by wzack(1968) 2 years, 1 month ago

One requirement that has had customers curious is how we will handle the issue of operating system versioning, in other words, do they automatically have to have their application run under a recently upgraded or patched version of the OS without their approval? Now we have an answer. With the addition of a new Service Configuration file parameter osVersion, you can now specify the version of the OS that you want your application to run under. read more...

Windows Azure Platform TCO.RIO Comparison Tool(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by wzack(1968) 2 years, 2 months ago

The folks from Alinan have developed a very comprehensive and detailed TCO/ROI comparison tool for the Microsoft Windows Azure Platform. You can access the tool at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/tco/. This tool does an excellent job of calculating the TCO/ROI of hosting an existing application on the Windows Azure Platform as compared to running the application on-premise. In doing this it considers not only the cost of operation but the entire application life-cycle. This includes planning, acquisition, setup and installation, management and support, evolution and retirement of the application. In the case of an existing on-premise application it also considers the cost of migrating the application. read more...
