Scenario: Web hosting with AzureSolution : Azure websites
Contoso currently has:
• A company intranet
• Several ASP.NET applications
• Several WordPress sites
- Including a WordPress blog
hosted in Internet Information
Server (IIS).
The sites are hosted on two web servers which are not load-balanced which causes downtime.
Contoso wants to implement a BI solution with SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services but is concerned about the growing number of applications that need to be accessed remotely by users with a variety of different mobile devices.
Contoso may be willing to migrate its on-premises web sites to Azure.
As part of the pilot, Contoso and its Microsoft partner will work closely to create and manage a Word Press Blog, and ASP.NET website which accesses SQL Server databases in Azure as well as on-premises SQL Server data.
With this new capability, Contoso can reduce the number of on-premises servers needed to develop and run production web content, as well as provide users with easy, secure access to corporate data by integrating Azure AD with on-premises AD.
