Understanding The Cloud

Today, in Tauranga, it is raining.

Tomorrow, at the offices in Swansea, we are hosting an event: 'Azure - The Cloud' for a number of invited delegates. The event is being jointly hosted with Microsoft UK.

Understanding The Cloud is something that Pingar is 'deeply engaged' in. Azure is our long term Cloud 'platform of choice' and resource is now being committed to it.

Cloud computing is not however just a case of uploading an application to a Cloud network. It requires specific Azure 'coding'. Even though we work with the standard Microsoft technologies, that additional layer of Azure coding is still required. We are now working on that.

This will be the first Pingar hosted event in Wales. It is in fact one of the first formal Azure presentations in the principality. I hope to be able to publish a report (plus photo's) of the event on Thursday.

(In the meantime, apologies for the opening paragraph pun. Even I am cringing....)
