http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-renames-azure-services –
article talks about MS renaming services and essentially dropping the ’Windows’ out
of it.
My experience has seen this will appeal to the non-MS types that see ’Windows’ as
something they don’t want to go near.
I personally think it’s a good move as sure it’s Windows but the Azure Platform offers
so much more..
Here’s some of the proposed changes.
| Prior Service Name | New Service Name |
| Windows Azure Compute | Cloud Services |
|
Windows Azure Platform – All Services |
All Services |
| Windows Azure CDN | CDN |
| Windows Azure Storage | Storage |
| Windows Azure Traffic Manager | Traffic Manager |
| Windows Azure Virtual Network | Virtual Network |
| AppFabric Cache | Cache |
| AppFabric Service Bus | Service Bus |
| AppFabric Access Control | Access Control |
| SQL Azure | SQL Database |
| SQL Azure Reporting Service | SQL Reporting |
