Windows Azure Development

Windows Azure helps developers build, host and scale web applications through Microsoft datacenters. Windows Azure provides on-demand compute and storage, SQL Azure a cloud-based relational database service, and Windows Azure AppFabric, for developing, deploying and managing applications in the cloud.

Windows Azure supports Microsoft programming language - .NET as well as non-Microsoft languages such as PHP, Java and Ruby on Rails. It also supports popular standards and protocols including SOAP, REST, XML. To build applications and services on Windows Azure, developers can use their existing Microsoft Visual Studio expertise. Windows Azure is a flexible platform that integrates with your existing on-premises environment.  

In essence, Windows Azure lets you focus on your application, not the infrastructure.

Developers can build Azure applications on-demand using existing Microsoft tools like Visual Studio. Azure can be used to add web capabilities to existing desktop applications or to host completely cloud-based apps. In other words, you could build an online calendar or task management service and host it on Windows Azure, or you could create a desktop calendar that synchronizes with a web calendar. Or you know something far more creative.

Windows Azure is a standard based platform and supports popular standards and protocols including SOAP, REST, and XML. Using the Windows Azure tools, developers can build, debug, and deploy to Windows Azure directly from their existing development environment.

Microsoft Azure is more scalable and developers have control of their environment and can specify their own performance standards while paying only for the resources needed for their applications. New Fabric Controller technology in Windows Azure provides developers with the ability to upgrade applications without interruption. Windows Azure Services includes tracing, logging, and monitoring functionality, giving insight into resource usage and performance.

In addition to Microsoft Online Services and Azure support services, Cyclosys offers Windows Azure consulting, deployment, migration, and web application customization.
