Suppose you have currently a sps 2010 site and maybe you want to upgrade. What will you do upgrade ? or place it in the cloud ?
And you use the sps only for document archive and some team sites, currently you have the whole DTAP config and every rol is configured for high availability. The deployment is done by SCCM in the first place and using VMM 2012 with orchestrator to deploy a bigger farm if you need one.
but why all this if you can place this in azure let me hear your opinion and or when would you place it in the cloud and when not.
I am actually building a Azure VM for a demo environment at the moment! I am not sure WHEN you would use it, I am actually interested of hearing when someone decided to go in Azure instead of on Premise and why.
