Infosys Session on Azure at Microsoft PDC2008
My name is Jitendra and I am a Principal Architect on Cloud Computing work we are doing at Infosys. Microsoft announced their Cloud Computing platform “Azure” last week and with that also made lot of the technologies which we were working with them as public information. This enables me to blog on the work we were doing with Microsoft since last 8 months around their Cloud Computing platform.
I did a session at the Microsoft Professional Developer conference event last week where Microsoft announced the Azure platform. My session was a walkthrough on one of the Partner Integration solutions we developing on this Azure Platform. You may view the recording of the session on the channel 9 http://channel9.msdn.com/pdc2008/BB56/. Infosys Case Study on this can also we found at http://www.microsoft.com/azure/casestudies.mspx.
Enabling partner integration and extending the enterprise boundaries to external partners and customers is one of the core enabling functions of a Cloud computing platform. This gives enterprises an incredible value to expand their boundaries to public facing endpoints and make the overall business process more straight through. For instance, the AReIS solution described above helps dealers to collaborate and share information with other Dealers over cloud based infrastructure. In my next blog I would touch upon the how we used the appliance based architectures patterns to realize the solution and why such patterns would be more relevant in the world of cloud computing for large Enterprises
