Windows Azure is an Internet platform on the basis of which you can create web applications, as well as various kinds of systems for corporate use. It consists of several components, information about which will greatly facilitate the user's life when working with the platform.
In February 2010, Microsoft introduced a new platform for building and storing web applications called Windows Azure. The developers immediately liked the novelty. The platform consists of three interconnected elements - AppFabric, Microsoft SQL Azure and Windows Azure.
AppFabric is a collection of services that a given platform needs to make it easy for platform-based applications to connect and interact with other Windows resources. Access to the connection can be controlled by the customer himself; this requires the integration of platform services with the customer's local network.
Microsoft SQL Azure helps distribute data created using the Windows Azure platform. Inside this component, you can find a large number of services that allow you to work with databases, analytical materials, reports and other documentation. In addition, this component allows the platform to synchronize information with remote computers and mobile devices.
The third component of the platform, Windows Azure, is designed to store information and applications in artificially created blocks of memory. In addition, using this element, you can edit and publish the created applications in the Internet space. They will be managed through data centers created by Microsoft.
According to the developers, the Windows Azure platform will provide customers with new power that can be used to keep up with the needs of customers, as well as to strengthen their position in the market. In addition, the platform increases operational efficiency by reducing funding. For developers of web applications, the platform is designed to help save time spent on solving complexities, which can be spent on creating new material. Among other things, application development and management can be carried out in php and net languages.
