Did most of the people here read the article or just the headline?
The quote stated the following:
“... applications or workloads that Microsoft IT considered high business impact, such as financial information, protected corporate information, or personal information, should be among the last to be migrated. This would allow Microsoft Azure to be effectively assessed and prepared to host this highly sensitive information.”
Shouldn't every business do this? What does this have to do with Azure's ability to host business critical applications? You just don't throw this stuff into the next data center or application container. Also this is not Microsoft's private data center it is a public service. Wouldn't you want them to go thru all the due diligence to do the following, "assessed and prepared to host this highly sensitive information"?
Really? 1/2 the comments here have nothing to do with facts, the headline has nothing to do with the content of the article. It is a far stretch to say Azure isn't ready... HBI at Microsoft is more about the data classification, than it is about how important, or scalable the workload is or is not.
