Windows Azure should accomodate virtual machines Linux

Technology – It would be a major turn for Microsoft: the possibilité d’ exé cuter of the persistent virtual machines, Windows or Linux, on Windows Blues &worsen; to count spring 2012. Microsoft does not confirm this information of ZDNet, qu’ a document interns é taye however.

According to information of ZDNet. COM, Microsoft should add a news fonctionnalitA© has  its Cloud platform: the possibilitA© da?? exA©cuter of the persistent virtual machines, Windows or Linux.

has “the administrators can be connected has  outdistance has  the virtual machine of each rA/le for opA©rer as of your? ches of maintenance and dA©pannage has” prA©cise Microsoft. But this fonctionnalitA© does limitations comprise, of which?? absence of persistence of the donnA©es.

Thus in case for example of redA©marrage of VM, the donnA©es stockA©es are lost. This gap has “one of the technical reasons for which you could not exA©cuter SharePoint on Azure VM rA/le has” explains has  ZDNet a Microsoft partner who wishes to keep?? anonymity.

According to Gartner?? together principal technology sectors (matA©riel, software da?? company, services IT and tA©lA©communications) by this deceleration of the growth in 2012. Ca?? is in the data processing departments and tA©lA©coms that the growth will be weakest, with respectively +3,1% and +2,3%.

But these figures covers the world marchA© and thus masks rA©gionales. Thus, in 2012, in Europe, this Na?? is not growth which is awaited, but a retreat of 0,7% of the data-processing dA©penses.
