Description:

Earlier this year the Windows Azure Platform, Microsoft's Platform as Service offering in the cloud, went live. You might find this platform of interest for one or more of the following reasons: the ability to scale to handle unpredictable loads, a robust global deployment or reducing your overall solution costs. No matter what your reason for going to the cloud is, you should find this presentation valuable as we cover topics such as:

What do I need to do get my application running in the cloud?
How do I maintain an application in an environment I don't own?
How do I maximize my costs savings?

The presentation will provide a brief overview of the Azure platform and a checklist of things to think about as you plan to move your solutions to the cloud.
