Windows Azure
Windows Azure is Microsoft's cloud application platform. Windows Azure can be used to build a web application that runs and stores its data in Microsoft datacenters. It can connect on-premises applications with each other or map between different sets of identity information.
The Windows Azure Platform provides an API built on REST, HTTP, and XML that allows a developer to interact with the services provided by Windows Azure. Microsoft also provides a client-side managed class library which encapsulates the functions of interacting with the services. It also integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio, Git, and Eclipse.
Windows Azure uses a specialized operating system, called Windows Azure, to run its "fabric layer" — a cluster hosted at Microsoft's datacenters that manages computing and storage resources of the computers and provisions the resources (or a subset of them) to applications running on top of Windows Azure. Windows Azure has been described as a "cloud layer" on top of a number of Windows Server systems, which use Windows Server 2008 and a customized version of Hyper-V, known as the Windows Azure Hypervisor to provide virtualization of services. Scaling and reliability are controlled by the Windows Azure Fabric Controller so the services and environment do not crash if one of the servers crashes within the Microsoft datacenter and provides the management of the user's web application like memory resources and load balancing.

Windows Azure Integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 has been integrated with the Windows Azure platform by coupling the Microsoft Dynamics CRM event execution pipeline to the Windows Azure Service Bus in the cloud. In essence, the Microsoft Dynamics CRM pipeline connects to the Windows Azure Service Bus enabling the data that has been processed as part of the current Microsoft Dynamics CRM operation to be posted to the bus. Windows Azure Service Bus solutions that are “CRM aware” can listen for and read the data that is posted on the service bus by Microsoft Dynamics CRM. The posted data is stored in a RemoteExecutionContext class instance that is an extended version of IExecutionContext passed at run time to Microsoft Dynamics CRM asynchronous plug-ins.
This integration between Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and the Windows Azure platform provides a secure channel for communicating Microsoft Dynamics CRM run-time data to external cloud based line of business applications. This capability is especially useful in keeping disparate CRM systems or other database servers synchronized with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online business data changes.
Key Elements of the Integration:
· Asynchronous Service
· Plug-ins
· Custom Workflow Activities
· Windows Azure Service Bus
· Windows Azure Solution
When I initially commented, I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Thanks
