Killer scenarios for SharePoint 2010 and Azure 400 – Level So you’ve been drinking the kool-aid on “the cloud” and have seen the buzz from Microsoft on both Office 365 and Azure in the last year. You may have even seen Steve Fox or Paul Stubbs, from Microsoft, content that has been published on the Internet of late focusing on leveraging Azure. In this session, Jeremy Thake, will discuss where SharePoint and Azure makes sense. He will show you how to get started in your development environment and the bear traps to look out for. Some key scenarios will be demonstrated and the code walked through. Both SharePoint 2010 on-premise and SharePoint 2010 online scenarios will be demonstrated leveraging BCS, SQL Azure, Azure Service Bus and lots more.   From this session you should have - a good understanding of how Azure could help your organization with your existing SharePoint 2010 environment and how to get started both on-premise and online. - An understanding of the key concepts of how Azure could help your organization with your existing SharePoint 2010 environment - An understanding of how to get started in your development environment with Azure and SharePoint 2010 - How BCS, SQL Azure and Azure Service Bus specifically can be leveraged in your organization by showing examples of the power of this technology in use

8. Benefits of Azure
 High availability
 Scalability
 Manageability

9. WAIT A MINUTE!

10. Why not just run on-premise
 IIS 7.5 / SQL Server
 can host these things too!
 High availability of applications
 Don’t worry about DR/HA costs
 Scalability of applications
 Pay by usage rather than servers sitting cold
 Manageability of applications
 Deployment of apps faster

11. Why do this?
 Offload heavy processing from SharePoint farm servers
 Transactional, normalized data processes
 Sandboxed solutions not as manageable
 SharePoint not great at “big data”
 Developers can stay in ASP.NET land & SP Dev can do
“light touch” plumbing
 SharePoint becomes presentation layer to many
applications

12. Flexible
 Pay as you go
 Scale out by changing in control panel

13. Key concepts
