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
