How Microsoft Is Making Big Impact with Machine Learning
During the last two years, Microsoft has upped the ante on Machine Learning
and Analytics. From hiring top notch data scientists to acquiring niche
startups, Redmond has made the all the right moves to transform Azure into
one of the best analytics platforms. These investments have started to pay
off for the company. It has been successful in articulating and demonstrating
the value of data-driven insights to governments, medical institutions, and
public sector organizations.
Emerging markets that are turning technology savvy are becoming the hotbed
for evaluating the upcoming trends such as Machine Learning and Artificial
Intelligence. With its strong presence in India, Microsoft is partnering with
the state and central government to bring the benefits of technology to the
masses. The company is making Cloud,... (more)
Systems of Innovation for Ongoing Digital Transformation
Information technology (IT) advances are transforming the way we innovate in
business, thereby disrupting the old guard and their predictable status-quo.
It’s creating global market turbulence. Industries are converging, and new
opportunities and threats are emerging, like never before.
So, how are savvy chief information officers (CIOs) leading this transition?
Back in 2015, the IBM Institute for Business Value conducted a market study
that included the findings from over 1,800 CIO interviews from around the
globe. The resulting insights are worthy of revisiting today, as we consider
the digital business transformation outlook in 2017.

CIOs realize the barriers between formerly distinct industries are
collapsing, as organizations in one sector apply their expertise to others ... (more)
Why .NET Deployment Automation Is Vital for Agility
By Ron Gidron
Developing and deploying large-scale .NET-based applications can quickly
become a time-consuming and error-prone process, as you waste resources and
expose yourself to the risk of failure and diminished employee satisfaction.
It may seem a trivial task at first, but as .NET development is scaled to
hundreds of applications and thousands of servers, its deployment must be
automated like any other process if you are to achieve enterprise-wide
agility. It's time to take action.
Use Cases
As your .NET code base and your number of applications grow, .NET deployment
automation becomes a bigger challenge and many aspects need to be considered.
Here are two examples of what may be required for a .NET deployment
automation scenario:
Scenario 1

What, Why, and How of IaaS and PaaS
The essence of cloud computing is that all consumable IT resources are
delivered as services.
In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Yung Chou, Technology Evangelist at
Microsoft, demonstrated the concepts and implementations of two important
cloud computing deliveries: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform
as a Service (PaaS). He discussed from business and technical viewpoints what
exactly they are, why we care, how they are different and in what ways, and
the strategies for IT to transition into and take advantages of these
emerging service models.

Behind every cloud service or cloud-based solution, there are real people...
A robust ecosystem of solutions providers has emerged around cloud computing.
But who are the CEOs & CTOs behind those providers, who are the internal and

This list will be updated weekly between now and November 4-7, 2013, when

Early Bird Savings Cloud Expo
Cloud computing is a game changer. The cloud is disrupting traditional

I've done a Windows Azure Series together with Mario Szpusta, Software
Architect Evangelist at Microsoft Austria on Windows Azure. The Series is in
German and I decided to bring it to Cloud Computing Journal. I will modify
some of the articles to bring them up-to-date. This series will cover about
15 articles that will be published once a week.
What Is Windows Azure?
Windows Azure is Microsoft's Platform as a Service offering for Cloud
Computing. There are three major fields in Windows Azure. Figure 1 provides
an overview of the platform.
Figure 1
The three fields are Windows Azure, SQL Azure and Windows Azure AppFabric.
There are several other services that are part of each field. Windows Azure
is a platform for web applications, SQL Azure is a comprehensive database in
the cloud based on Microsoft SQL Server, and Windows Azure AppFabric contains

Piston Cloud is about to release Airframe, a cut-down version of its Piston
Enterprise OpenStack platform built so business users have a free way to
evaluate and get comfortable with OpenStack in a pre-production environment.
It's supposed to be ideal in pilot deployments, proof of concept and lab
environments.
The bare-metal cloud management platform is said to install in less than 10
minutes - which, if true, is probably remarkable - and deliver all the core
OpenStack services including compute, storage, networking and cloud
management.
The company says it was designed to fill the gap between the OpenStack
framework and Piston Enterprise OpenStack, its production-ready and supported
OpenStack distribution.
Evidently before Airframe, it wasn't possible to evaluate all of the core
OpenStack services without installing and configuring several different
systems. Wi... (more)
Last week’s arrival of the Microsoft Azure Stack Technical Preview marks a
turning point in the cloud computing market and forms a leading indicator of
how dramatically Microsoft has changed in the past two years.
The cloud turning point comes because the path to hybrid-cloud capabilities
and benefits has a powerful new usher, one with the enterprise, developer,
and service-provider presence, R and D budget, and competitive imperative to
succeed in a market still under served and nebulous.
Over the past five years, public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS)
value and utility have matured rapidly around three major players: Amazon Web
Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure. But hybrid-cloud
infrastructure standards are still under-developed, with no dominant market
driver.
The best path to a hybrid cloud global standard remains a vision only,
