Cloud Application Development Services

Windows Azure Platform serves as an end-to-end development and deployment platform for building cloud services. But moving your on premise applications to Windows Azure isn’t a simple decision. Ideally, one would like to move an application that provides maximum ROI and poses minimum risks. Risks could be ensuring business continuity, data security, technology investments, etc.

An ideal strategy would be assess the growth profile of your application. With that assessment you will need to understand the amount of effort involved in migrating your web application to Windows Azure. Depending on the current architecture of your web application this could be a serious undertaking. Several components like web sessions, diagnostics, relational DB, distributed cache, COM components, operational integration, third party softwares, security, etc. would need a migration plan, feasibility check and corresponding approvals on budgeted estimates. Security is also an important consideration. While migrating to cloud security normally needs to be applied at 2 levels – data at rest (disk) and data in motion (wire). Security implementation can be done using encryption and related techniques. Windows Azure platform also consists of AppFabric that can allow you to take your on-premise identity investments to the cloud using Access Control Service. In case there is some sensitive data that can be stored only on your premises you can use AppFabric’s Service Bus to tunnel back from Cloud.
