Cloud featuring the Microsoft Tech Ed

Like last year, the Microsoft Tech Ed North America (high mass Microsoft for CIOs and administrators) that opens today in Atlanta (until May 19) will mainly centralized on the Cloud and Windows Azure. Steve Ballmer had found a magic formula last year to summarize Microsoft's position against the Cloud: 'We Are All In.

" A reference to poker and a game of words that summed up the switch made in recent years by the Redmond giant: "We're betting the future of our company on the Cloud. 90% of our developers are working on projects in one way or another are related to the cloud, "he added. The Microsoft TechEd 2011 which opens tonight in Atlanta will be another opportunity for Microsoft to evangelize his vision of cloud and offers Windows Azure.

Emphasis should be placed this year especially on the concept of "Cloud Hybrid" which unifies the vision of "private cloud" (the transformation of the data center the company into a provider of services and resources for the business divisions) and Cloud Public (Windows Azure). For Microsoft, this is primarily to educate CIOs in explaining the gains they can expect from the Cloud, demonstrating the tools at their disposal to administer and secure (including through new versions of System Center), tracing the evolution of development tools for Windows Azure.

TechEd this is also an opportunity for Microsoft to explain the few "quacks" experienced by the offer Exchange Online last week (some customers have experienced an interruption of services) and new public offerings like Office 365 . The Keynote will be broadcast live on the Web at 15H from this URL.

Note that there will be no exception TechEd 2011 in Europe this year as Microsoft has decided, at the request of its customers, to move his event in the summer (instead of the traditional month of November). The next TechEd Europe will take place in Amsterdam in June 2012.
