Is Your Application Suitable for Windows Azure? (Credera)
Some IT professionals describe cloud computing as an “amorphous” thing. It is hard to clearly understand what it is, and most importantly, to know if it works for your organization. The cloud is not only difficult to understand, but it is growing and changing at such a fast pace that it is hard to keep up with it and understand what it offers. Nonetheless, the cloud is not an ‘all or nothing’ deal; you need to assess the readiness of each application of your organization. Continue reading this entry »

Using Windows PowerShell to Manage SharePoint 2010 (WindowsITPro)
The release of SharePoint 2010 (both SharePoint Foundation and SharePoint Server) offers welcome support for Windows PowerShell. Of course it has always been technically possible to use PowerShell to manage SharePoint but that involved doing a lot of work yourself to call the .NET Framework and work directly with the SharePoint Object Model or Web Services. But now it’s official, and administrators get to use the power of PowerShell out of the box. Continue reading this entry »

The Undeniable Influence of SharePoint 2010 (Fierce Content Management)
Some people love SharePoint. Some people hate it. But however you feel about it, you can’t deny its influence on the market.

To its credit, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has tried to deal with a lot of the issues and problems people complained about in 2007 with the 2010 release, but until we begin to hear actual stories on the ground, it’s always hard to separate the hype from reality.
