I guess future versions will support IPv6 and federation/claim based authentication will allow single sign on from own forest federated with Azure cloud.<br />Thanks for sharing.Hans Vredevoorthttp://hyper-v.nu/bogs/hansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930349235661427759.post-91586350791789926752010-01-06T02:12:32.999+01:002010-01-06T02:12:32.999+01:00A few thoughts...

If that doesn't work for you, Azure Storage is an option, as well. Or, you could even host your own SQL on-premise or with a hosting company, and then use Windows Azure for your application tier. Lots of options.<br /><br />2. Also, I think the firewall experience described is actually for a SQL Azure database and a business logic tier hosted on-premise (which is only one of multiple options). For example, if you host your business logic in Windows Azure, and the database in SQL Azure, running the app wouldn't require your company to open port 1433. (because both end points would be within the Windows Azure cloud environment, and not crossing your company network.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930349235661427759.post-46171748257409403712010-01-05T23:14:59.496+01:002010-01-05T23:14:59.496+01:00Excellent recap.
