​Application Maintenance and Migration refers to the ability for our customers to delegate many data center networking tasks to the Windows Azure Platform, allowing them to focus on more mission critical applications development. ​

Pain Points:

• Reliance on uptime and maintenance of physical servers.
• Automated management  could improves application uptime, and reduces the need for human resources interacting with the application. ​

Windows Azure Services:

• SQL Server
• AppFabric: Automated Management Services
• Windows Azure (Compute/Storage) ​

Target Scenarios:

• Web portal with high growth and scalability requirements
• Marketing campaigns with burst workloads
• Payroll portal with variable workload patterns
