At this ITcamp I will show you that YOU can have the best of both worlds! With Windows Azure, you can easily extend an on-premises network to embrace the power and scale of the cloud – securely and seamlessly. These Hybrid Cloud scenarios present real solutions that you can implement today to solve pressing IT issues such as:

  • Right-sizing Storage Investments
  • Protecting Data with Off-site Backups
  • Business Continuance and Disaster Recovery
  • Cost-effective, On-demand Dev/Test Environments
  • Internet-scale Web Sites… And MORE!

Join me for this FREE full-day hands-on event to experience the power of Hybrid Cloud. I will guide you through the process of jumpstarting your knowledge on Windows Azure Storage, Virtual Machines and Virtual Networking for key IT Pro scenarios. Complete all of the hands-on labs and you’ll walk away with a fully functional Windows Server 2012 cloud-based test lab running in Windows Azure!
