Introduction to Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is an open and flexible cloud computing platform and infrastructure used to build, deploy and manage applications and services. This is done through a global network of Microsoft managed datacenters. …show more content…

Users can easily and securely connect their cloud infrastructure to their own on premise infrastructure. Virtual Network
Microsoft Azures platform allows users to easily expand their on-premises datacenter and Azures virtual network is what makes this possible. Before cloud when you had a situation where you needed to deal with increasing demand you had to purchase more servers and additional hardware and software. Applications and operating systems also had to be deployed across the new systems. These tasks were very time consuming and not to mention expensive to perform.

Microsoft Azures platform allows users to easily expand their on-premises datacenter and Azures virtual network is what makes this possible. A virtual network can be created using private IP addresses in Microsoft Azure. A secure link between your own on-premises datacenter and Azure can be created through Virtual Network. This is known as a hybrid solution or IT infrastructure where your cloud solutions can connect to your own information …show more content…

Data Services

Microsoft Azure data services provide businesses with the option of data storage, data access, data protection and data analytics. The business/user can then access their data from anywhere at any time. Even if your data is stored on-premises automated backups provided by Azure guarantee to keep it safe for you.

SQL Server
Virtual Machines in Azure can be used to run a businesses existing SQL Server applications. If a businesses applications need full SQL Server functionality then this might be the best option. Although this does require IT staff to maintain and patch the server. On-premises SQL databases can be easily migrated to the cloud and even better don’t require any code changes.

It is very easy to get SQL Server running on a virtual machine within Azure. You just choose the correct image from the preloaded images in the gallery. This is excellent for development and testing as it is so quick and simplistic to create a new virtual machine running SQL Server whenever you want

I addressed this question in two parts, first what would I do from technology perspective and then format and key items that will be part of my Disaster Recovery (DR) Plan Like I mentioned earlier, in the next 10-15 years with cloud computing all my information will be on virtual servers. Developing a virtual backup strategy depends on a few factors such as the service levels required and the suitability of existing backup products. To start with virtual servers can’t be backed up like physical ones, with an agent per virtual machine, because of the I/O and CPU bottlenecks created. Virtual machines are much harder to track for backup purposes. Previously a physical server hosted an application and that one-to-one relationship was almost never broken.

What this means is that your Dynamics ERP install needs to be installed twice (in two separate Azure nodes or containers) in order for Microsoft’s uptime guarantee to apply. Now this part is explained in three terms on their website: 1) Introduction which includes what is SLA and what services would be cover under this SLA. 2) General terms in which they have explained the definitions of some general words related to the SLAs and terms for Claims, Service Credits and Limitations. And 3) SLA details which covers the specified informations related to cloud computing’s service level expectations.
