Windows Azure Training
Let U2U train you to build the next generation applications on Azure
Windows Azure is Microsoft's offering for building and running applications which
are scalable and fault-tolerant, while leveraging your existing know-how. Learn
how to design your application for the cloud, and how to use the new Azure API's
for building your application logic and storing your data safely. In the U2U offer you find today:
The Windows Azure Services Platform
Windows Azure is the new cloud operating system by Microsoft. Azure serves
as the service hosting and service management environment for the Azure
Services Platform. Windows Azure provides us with on-demand compute and
storage services allowing us to host, scale, and manage our Web applications on the internet
through Microsoft data centers.
In Windows Azure we find:

our existing Visual Studio 2010 expertise
- In addition, Azure supports popular standards and protocols including
SOAP, REST, and XML

U2U training on Azure
U2U trainers strongly believe in the success of this new Microsoft platform
and have created some exciting workshops for early adopters. At U2U we
offer an engagement program and a 5-day workshop:
Workshop "Developing cloud based applications for Windows Azure"
Learn what Windows Azure has to offer to your organization. Learn about
new hosting technologies in the cloud, how to develop and scale your enterprise
applications for Azure. The U2U Azure courses target early adopters who
want to acquire a good understanding of the Azure platform: You will not
only discover the technologies for creating the future type of applications
running on Azure, but you will also learn how to enable your existing applications
for the Azure services available today and how to migrate existing applications
to the cloud. So if you want to get introduced in the cloud services offered
by Microsoft and want to discover how to use them in your cloud and on-premises
applications, the following U2U courses are waiting for you to attend:
U2U Email Snippets Outlook add-in enabled for the Windows
Azure - Live Mesh
With the U2U Email Snippets Outlook add-in you can save your email message,
