Course description
Windows Azure offers a new way for data storage. This course will explore Azure storage options with Blobs, Tables, Queues, and SQL. You will also get a flyover of the Content Delivery Network (CDN) and SQL Data Sync. Then you take a look at how and where the public cloud enables solutions and where it fits in an IT strategy.

There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.
