Childrens Hospital of Aurora
Hospital Virtualizes Servers to cut IT costs by $1.8 million
The Children’s Hospital of Aurora, Colorado, wants to direct as much of its nonprofit budget as possible to helping families rather than buying new servers. After using server virtualization to stem server proliferation, the hospital wanted to further lower data center costs, simplify a complex and expensive software landscape, and improve application availability. It deployed the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system with Hyper-V technology as well as several Microsoft System Center data center solutions. By gaining an all-Microsoft server management infrastructure, The Children’s Hospital expects to trim U.S.$1.8 million from its IT budget in hardware, energy, and software licensing costs. Today, the IT staff is far more efficient—even with fewer people—and can spend more time creating new business solutions and ensuring high application availability.

MSDN Webcast: Windows Azure AppFabric, Soup to Nuts (Level 300)
Wednesday, October 13, 2010 9:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)
In this webcast, we demonstrate a web service that combines identity management via Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control with cross-firewall connectivity via Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus. We also discuss several possible architectures for services and sites that run both on-premises and in Windows Azure and take advantage of the features of Windows Azure AppFabric. In each case, we explain how the pay-as-you-go pricing model affects each application, and we provide strategies for migrating from an on-premises service-oriented architecture (SOA) to a Service Bus architecture.
