We Can Help You Reach The Cloud
Today, organizations like yours are realizing that cloud computing is the next wave in IT innovation and would like to take advantage of the tremendous potential of this technology while avoiding the pitfalls inherent in any new undertaking. RDA’s mission is to learn, understand, and distill new technology so that our clients can skip the learning curve and benefit from innovation right away. RDA recognized early on that Windows Azure would change the IT landscape and we have invested heavily in research and training so that we can help you.
In fact, RDA was recently named a Windows Azure Circle Partner by Microsoft. We are one of only a few Microsoft partners in the U.S. to be awarded this recognition.
To help kick start your organization’s move into cloud computing, we have developed a 2-day offering called RDA’s Windows Azure Cloud Roadmap.
The roadmap will provide you with:
- An analysis of your application portfolio, identifying short list candidates for your first cloud application.
- A strategy for Windows Azure adoption over the long term and an actionable plan for that first foray into the cloud.
You will also learn how Azure will enable your organization to:
- Focus on building business value instead of running a data center
- Deploy with greater agility and remove hardware/operating system requisition delays
- Increase speed to market
- Reduce up-front capital expenses by shifting to an operating expense model
- Inherit high availability
- Update your systems automatically with the latest OS and security patches
- Scale to match capacity to demand without any hardware or OS licensing dependencies
The roadmap includes:
- An introduction of Windows Azure and a review of business advantages
- A system review of existing products, applications, current status and future plans
- Discussions on application hosting and scalability
- A review of Windows Azure alignment with your goals and integration concerns
- Demonstrations to drive concepts home
- An exploration of next steps
What you can expect to receive:
- A document tailored to your organization outlining strategy discussion points for Windows Azure adoption.
- A next step outline for your first cloud project.
