3666_ee-banner-hybridcloud_png-550x185 — (Part 1) Microsoft Azure for Amazon AWS Cloud Professionals: Getting Started Jun 13, 2016
As the leading public cloud platforms, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) each offer businesses a broad and deep set of capabilities with global coverage. Yet many organizations choose to use both platforms together for greater choice and flexibility, as well as to spread their risk and dependencies with a multi-cloud approach. Consulting companies and software vendors may also want to build on and use both Azure and AWS as this combination represents the majority of the cloud market demand.
To help decide which platform is right for your needs, we’re kicking off a new 5 part mini-series today showcasing and demoing Microsoft Azure features as well as comparing them to Amazon Web Services to see how they match up.
[2:40] What are some of the compelling reasons that you’ve seen customers and partners choose Azure as their cloud platform?
[4:50] How different is Azure from other cloud providers, such as AWS?
[13:38] When building solutions for Azure, is it very different then from other cloud platforms?
[36:02] This all sounds great, but how much does Azure cost?
[40:15] Where can people go to get started with their own Azure subscription?

Tech Futures: How can we achieve more? May 17, 2016
“Empowering every organization and every individual on the planet to achieve more.” It’s an ambitious statement and Microsoft’s vision for a more productive work force and everyday life experiences.
But how do we get there? Today we’re kicking off a new series entitled “Tech Futures” which is devoted to the idea of exploring new possibilities in our quest to “achieve more” in our daily lives. From connected cows to smart fridges, 3D printed pizza and driverless cars --- all while tackling cyber security and privacy issues as well as trying to figure out how to support this new tech frontier through infrastructure management and enterprise mobility --- no topic is off limit.
So join us in our journey and let us know what you think the future will look like and how we can challenge what we see today, so that we can create the technologies that will shape tomorrow together.
[3:40] Before we can look to the future, we have to explore our past…
[8:40] What current technology are you most encouraged by that you think will be a major player in the future?
[11:40] How do we get to the future? What is it built on and how are they all interconnected?
[15:34] So now let's think about the future... what are a couple of things that you see coming that will radically change the way we "achieve more" in our work and play?
[19:30] How will these new possibilities impact user productivity? How’s a 3D Printed Pizza and Enterprise Mobility related exactly?
[25:32] What does productivity and advancements in technology really mean?
