Enterprise Edition Features & Tradeoffs • Completely isolated from other tenants • Fs-<tenant>.cloudapp.net • Exclusive use of • dedicated hosted service(s) • SQL Azure databases • Little or no change to the existing application codebase • The provisioning • automates the customization of the app • creates a package dynamically • …but requires a manual step • Maximum clarity in the billing • Federated SSO • No need for account provisioning, reuse existing org structure • The # of actual users is unknown
