Windows Azure Architectural Design Session

If you are considering migrating to the Microsoft Windows Azure platform, take advantage of this 5-day Architectural Design Session (ADS) from RDA that will help your company:

  • Review the current state of your enterprise, products, and applications
  • Develop a strategy for leveraging Azure, for one or many applications, including architectural best practices and recommendations

Learn how your business can benefit from the Microsoft Windows Azure platform and develop an appropriate strategy to get there! Migrating to Azure will enable your organization to:

  • Focus on building applications instead of being a data center
  • Deploy with greater agility - Remove hardware / operating system requisition delays
  • Increase speed to market
  • Reduce up-front capital expenses by shifting to an operating expense model. (Systems with low-traffic periods really benefit from this model.)
  • Inherit built-in disaster recovery and high availability
  • Update your systems automatically with the latest OS and security patches
  • Scale to match capacity to demand without any hardware or licensing dependencies
  • Simplify SLA

High-Level Agenda

  • Review existing products and applications – current status and future plans
  • Introduction of Azure, review of business advantages
  • Map out application architecture/design
  • Discuss application hosting and scalability
  • Summarize Azure alignment and integration
  • Develop migration strategy
  • View applicable demos
  • Explore next steps

Deliverables
