Yesterday, during the first
day of TechEd held from 3 to 6 June in New Orleans, Microsoft unveiled Windows
Server 2012 R2 versions, System Center 2012 R2, Visual Studio 2013 and SQL
Server 2014 compatible Azure.
The updates announced by Microsoft of certain infrastructure and development tools, including Windows Server, System Center, Visual Studio and SQL Server, will allow to work more harmoniously with its Azure hosted services in the cloud. "We must understand that all run in Azure. Updates bring experience, code and Azure design our products on-site, "said Brad Anderson, Corporate Vice President Windows Server and System Center at Microsoft. In the Microsoft TechEd 2013 conference being held this week in New Orleans, the final versions of Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2, Visual Studio 2013 and SQL Server 2014 are expected as well as update management service Intune computers and devices. A preview of each product will be available later this month, the commercial versions to be delivered by the end of the year, with the exception of SQL Server 2014 which will be available at the beginning of the year 2014.
These versions have a common characteristic: they all work with Azure or cloud services equivalent to Azure at Microsoft partners. Companies will be able to more easily move workloads between datacenters and the cloud services. When they use the latest versions of these products, they can save their Windows Server applications or their internal SQL Server database in Azure. They can also use the hosted service from Microsoft for their failover operations, "that is to say that the cloud service will take over operations if, for one reason or another, their primary servers fall failure ", as explained by Brad Anderson in an interview before the opening of the conference. "Our goal was clearly to encourage businesses to adopt hybrid cloud and break down barriers to allow an extension of transparent service between their data centers and service provider, or Azure," said Corporate Vice President. "Instead of buying licenses to other suppliers, companies can now use SQL Server and Windows Server to take advantage of these features, since these products are covered by existing licenses."
System Center more related to Azure
The update to Windows Server 2012 R2 can copy applications and data from their servers on Windows Azure, or Azure implementations of other service providers. The operating system will also easily replicate virtual machines on Hyper-V Azure. Windows Server 2012 R2 also provides new features that allow storage tiering implementation of different levels of storage and also helps to promote cloud deployments. This can help to optimize the use of storage capacity, it allows to store the most sensitive devices on the fastest data storage, and the least popular park on less expensive disks.
The editor of Redmond also announced that the next version of its enterprise IT management System Center more related to Azure. It will allow companies to establish rules to also turn right as Windows Server Hyper-V virtual machines in the cloud and on-site. The software allows you to set the backup policies and perform failover operations on a large number of servers. "SQL Server 2014 can also be connected to Azure," said Corporate Vice President. And it will be possible to save the SQL Server database on Azure. It is also the first time that SQL Server will feature in-memory capabilities developed under the code name Hekaton.
And for the first time, this version of System Center to manage the terminals Android and Apple iOS in said Brad Anderson. Administrators have access to settings to configure the VPN (virtual private networks), login, wireless connection and other features required by the company.
More extensive tests in Azure
On the development side, Azure adds some new features to the next version of Visual Studio 2013. For example, the software will load an application in Azure to test. "As and when the application is built, you can load it into Azure and apply a heavy workload to see how it behaves," said Brad Anderson. Apart from these software updates, Microsoft is also announcing new services and features to its Windows Azure hosted service. The Redmond company is expected to show a preview of Windows Azure BizTalk Services, an online version of Enterprise Services Bus (ESB) BizTalk. The vendor has also unveiled its new per-minute billing for virtual machines.
The Microsoft TechEd conference is to educate administrators and IT professionals on the back office and business software from Microsoft. During his keynote, Brad Anderson would reveal some statistics on the adoption of Microsoft products in the enterprise. We already know that the server and tools business at Microsoft reported $ 19 billion, an increase of 10% over the last four quarters. Or more than 75% of business applications today run on Windows Server. Incidentally, the officer noted that the Hyper-V sales increased "three times faster than those of the VMware hypervisor." According to data from Microsoft's SQL Server database users increases 1.7 times faster than the flagship product Oracle. Also according to Microsoft SQL Server is the database most widely used in the world and holds 47% share of all SQL databases. Finally, sales of System Center are also up: "They have increased 35% in the last quarter," said Brad Anderson.
