Microsoft Azure

Written for IT and business professionals, Microsoft Azure: Planning, Deploying, and Managing Your Data Center in the Cloud provides the technical and business insight needed to plan, deploy, and manage the services provided by the Microsoft Azure cloud. It includes infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) models with integration to existing business infrastructure. Part I starts with an introduction to Microsoft Azure and how it differs from Office 365—Microsoft’s ‘public’ cloud. Part II then takes you through setting up your Azure account, and gets you up-and-running on core Azure services. It provides guidance for combining cloud-based only and hybrid solutions. Part III takes an in-depth look at how to integrate Azure with your existing infrastructure. This book covers high availability and disaster recovery, on-premises into the cloud, and provides key insights and step-by-step guidance to help you set up and manage your resources correctly. You’ll also gain expert advice on migrating your existing VMs to Azure using InMage with minimum disruption to the business.
