Windows Azure Platform… makes it easy and cost effectiveto runyour applications and/or storeyour data inside Microsoft Data Centres usingexisting skills and integrate with your existing on-premise applications all accessible from a variety of devices
Windows Azure Cloud Operating System Virtual Network Storage Compute
SQL Azure Extending SQL Server to the Cloud Reporting Database Data Sync

With Worldwide Reach… • Asia Pacific Region • North American Region • Europe Region Northern Europe North Central USA Eastern Asia Western Europe South Central USA Southeast Asia • Data Centers Across 3 Continents • 24 Global Locations for CDN Services that Scale Automatically
Why Device + Cloud? • The cloud levels the playing field • The cloud provides a larger pool of resources from which to pull • The cloud provides a way to reach across device platforms
Windows Azure Toolkits for Devices • Easier for device developers to use Windows Azure • Windows Phone: http://bit.ly/watwp7 • iOS:http://bit.ly/watios • Android: http://bit.ly/watandroid • Toolkits include: • Native libraries (e.g. .NET, Objective-C) • Samples • Project templates • Documentation
Storage: What are our options? • Windows Azure Tables • Non-relational structured storage • Massive scale-out • OData • Windows Azure Blobs • Big files • REST • Windows Azure Queues • Persistent Async Messaging • Enqueue, Dequeue
Storage: What are our options? • SQL Azure • Relational database • Highly available • Managed for you as a service
Storage Example: SQL Azure • Client sends request to proxy • Proxy makes SQL call against SQL Azure • SQL Azure returns a response • Proxy returns response to device (2) Web Role (3) (4) (1)
Identity: What are the options? • Create your own • Username + password, token, etc. • ASP.NET Membership Providers • Use a single existing identity system • Live Id, Facebook, etc. • Develop directly against IdP protocol • Outsource identity management • Access Control Service
Communications • Two forms of communication with devices • Device-initiated • Cloud-initiated
Communications: Cloud-initiated • Push Notifications • Single connection between the device and the notification service • Bandwidth and battery-friendly • No guarantee of delivery
