Test the Latest Technologies with Windows Azure for FREE!

Posted on by

Would you like the opportunity to test out SharePoint2013? How about Windows Server 2012? No problem, for at least 15 to 20 days you can get away with testing these technologies free of charge on Windows Azure. Azure is a Platform as a Service (Paas) allowing you to build Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and even serve Software as a Service (SaaS). Too many acronyms? I thought so.

A Paradigm Shift

Azure challenges the old tradition of buying or leasing physical servers which represent substantial costs in storage, maintenance, disaster recovery and productivity.   Azure holds all these components virtually on the cloud which means you only need an Internet connection, a Hotmail or Live ID account and a credit car to get started.

The 5-minute tour

For this demo I used Articulate Replay (the latest addition from Articulate) which I must admit was a very efficient screencast tool.
