Benefits of Azure

High availability Scalability Manageability

WAIT A MINUTE!

Why not just run on-premise

IIS 7.5 / SQL Server can host these things too!

High availability of applications Don’t worry about DR/HA costs

Scalability of applications Pay by usage rather than servers sitting cold

Manageability of applications Deployment of apps faster

Why do this?

Offload heavy processing from SharePoint farm servers

Transactional, normalized data processes Sandboxed solutions not as manageable SharePoint not great at “big data” Developers can stay in ASP.NET land & SP Dev can

do “light touch” plumbing SharePoint becomes presentation layer to many

applications

Flexible

Pay as you go Scale out by changing in control panel
