Azure technology in your datacenter

Once installed in your datacenter, the Windows Azure Pack integrates with System Center and Windows Server to help provide the following capabilities.

A Microsoft Azure-consistent, customizable self-service portal experience for provisioning, monitoring and management of services such as Web Sites, Virtual Machines, and Service Bus.

A portal for administrators to configure and manage resource clouds, user accounts, tenant offers, quotas, and pricing.

The foundation for the capabilities in the management portal, the service management API is a REST API that helps enable service access and a range of integration scenarios including custom portals and billing systems.

Consistent with Microsoft Azure Web Sites, this service helps provide a high-density, scalable shared web hosting platform for ASP.NET, PHP, and Node.js web applications. It includes a customizable web application gallery of popular open source web applications and integration with source control systems for custom-developed websites and applications.

This service helps provide Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) capabilities for Windows and Linux virtual machines (VMs) based on Windows Hyper-V and System Center. It includes a VM template gallery, scaling options, and virtual networking capabilities.

Consistent with Microsoft Azure Service Bus, this service helps provide reliable messaging services between distributed applications. It includes queued and topic-based publish/subscribe capabilities.

The Windows Azure Pack also includes capabilities for automating and integrating additional custom services into the services framework, including a runbook editor and execution environment.

This service helps provide Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) capabilities for SQL Server and MySQL database servers. This capability is used by web applications in the Web Sites service and more generally by other applications.
