Few things have as much value in the digital age as good old data. Unfortunately, it is often scattered and not necessarily running on infrastructure that's up to date. In this session, you will learn about the challenge of having data sitting on "intermittently maintained infrastructure" and how best to migrate to a cloud environment that is persistently up to date. |

Common scenario: you suddenly need to increase the horsepower behind your application (or some combination of compute, storage and bandwidth). The following week, you want to scale back with minimal changes to your codebase but don't have the manpower to babysit the additional infrastructure for security patches or OS upgrades. Sound familiar? This session walks you through the steps needed to address your server needs (with Windows Communication Foundation - WCF) and web requirements (Microsoft ASP.NET MVC, Web Forms, Microsoft Silverlight). |
