By Adron Hall on November 22, 2013

Recently a post from @Gigabarb popped up on the ole’ Twitter that started a micro-storm of twitter responses. Ok tech users. Who out there is using a PaaS? For realz. Serious question.— Barb Darrow (@gigabarb) November 21, 2013 This got me thinking about a number of things and I started to write her an email […]

When things go wrong with Windows Azure

When things go wrong with Windows Azure

By Dan Morrill on April 30, 2013

When things go wrong with Windows Azure I recently started with Windows Azure, and really tried to start digging into it today. Unfortunately, everything went wrong. Windows Azure is turning into one stubborn system to get to do much with. It all started with trying to redeem my coupon code for a free three month […]

Microsoft’s Cloud OS Play–A Logical Converged Cloud Offering

Microsoft’s Cloud OS Play–A Logical Converged Cloud Offering

By Ben Kepes on January 25, 2013

A week or two ago, Microsoft made a slew of announcements all aimed at creating a consistent story around hybrid cloud services. It’s a compelling product launch, and one which, frankly, takes Microsoft which was only a year or two ago one of the key whipping boys for the cloud cognoscenti, to a place of […]

The Best PaaS is one that is Being Used

The Best PaaS is one that is Being Used

By Guest Authors on October 11, 2012

Often I hear that the enterprise is “starting to warm up to PaaS” spoken as though adoption in the enterprise is purely a function of the customer’s readiness. Obviously an enterprise must adjust its IT world view in order to truly embrace PaaS. PaaS is at least as much a cultural change as it is […]

Day #2 => Cloud Expo, A Few Pictures & Associated Thoughts

Day #2 => Cloud Expo, A Few Pictures & Associated Thoughts

By Adron Hall on June 13, 2012

This first one is of Effective UI a company out of Denver, Colorado. You’re probably asking yourself, why are they at a cloud conference? I asked the same question and they brought up a really good point. Most cloud computing interfaces are horrible. I have to agree, most are or at least have been pretty […]

Nurturing the market for Data Markets

Nurturing the market for Data Markets

By Paul Miller on January 10, 2012

From Microsoft’s Azure Data Marketplace to the eponymous DataMarket, or InfoChimps, Factual, and Kasabi, there’s resurgent interest in the venerable business of collecting, curating, and commercialising data created by others. But despite investment and innovation, there isn’t yet the matching evidence for much use or — even — interest amongst prospective customers. In principle, at least, these data markets […]

Following Good Practice, The Negative Bits About Windows Azure First, But Gems Included! :D

By Adron Hall on September 7, 2011

Ok, I’ve used Windows Azure steadily over the last year and a half.  I’ve fought with the SDK so much that I stopped using it. I decided I’d put together this recap of what has driven me crazy and then put together something about the parts that I really like, the awesome bits, the parts […]

Big News on Day #3 of OS Bridge

By Adron Hall on June 23, 2011

Microsoft announced today that they’ll be supporting an effort to get Node.js working on Windows. Mary Foley picked it up quick, but also so did Node creator Ryan Dhal. This, being the explosion of support for Node.js, is excellent news. This further enables JavaScript for the whole stack, on any operating system stack. Getting a […]

Microsoft Showcases Toyota As A Big Azure Win

Microsoft Showcases Toyota As A Big Azure Win

By Krishnan Subramanian on April 6, 2011

Ever since Azure was released to public, Microsoft has been trying hard to showcase adoption trends. In spite of their best efforts, they couldn’t slow down the momentum Amazon Web Services has in the cloud services space. Even though they highlighted some customers during last PDC, pundits are skeptical about the kind of impact Azure […]

By Adron Hall on February 17, 2011

Windows Azure AppFabric is arguably the main feature set that truly sets Windows Azure apart from any cloud services on the market today. The AppFabric allows cloud users to hookup on-premises services to their cloud services, to secure cloud & on-premises services with new or existing security frameworks (identity based, active directory, or otherwise), cache […]
