Architecting for a cost effective Windows Azure solution

with Maarten Balliauw

Cloud computing and platforms like Windows Azure promise to be “the next big thing” in IT. This is certainly true as there are a lot of advantages with cloud computing: computing and storage become an on-demand story that you can use at any time, paying only for its effective usage.

This session covers common pitfalls and hints on improving the cost effectiveness of a Windows Azure solution.
