Windows Azure
How to use Hyper-V based virtualization:
1. Install Windows 2008 R2 Server.
2. Configure the system to have a static IP Address.
3. Using Server Manager, add Hyper-V Role.
4. Create virtual machines as required.
5. Install the required OS, software etc.
6. Now you have the required .VHD file. When ever you need any new virtual machine of similar kind, simply use the earlier .VHD created in step 5.

Cloud is a big boon for organizations with small IT departments and less investments towards dedicated hardware. Security is another important feature here to consider. At the same time, important tasks like Backup of data etc is taken care by most cloud service providers and they do strict SLA of 99.99% uptime. Therefore, most of your worries are taken care by some one trusted.
When you host
an application under Windows Azure, details like your application’s deployment,
keeping the servers up-to-date with the latest patches, ensuring the
application is running, phasing out old hardware is handled by Microsoft so
that you can focus on creating your application. Deployment and management of your service is automated by relying on a clear
definition of your application’s structure and configuration, with all of the
actual work of ensuring that your application is deployed and kept running.
Windows Azure was designed from the ground-up to provide an open,
standards-based and interoperable environment. All communications with Windows
Azure support standard internet protocols, including HTTP/HTTPS, REST, SOAP,
and XML. Beyond this protocol interoperability, developers can implement their
applications using a wide range of technologies including (but not limited to)
the Microsoft.NET Framework, Java, and PHP.
The Development
Environment
The Windows
Azure SDK ships with a complete development environment that allows you to
develop and debug your applications locally without needing to deploy the
application to the cloud. In fact, you can fully develop and test most of your
application’s code before you even get an Azure account.
Although you do
not need to have Visual Studio to use the tools in the SDK, there is deep
integration with the local “cloud in a box” that simplifies development, debugging
and deployment through the Windows Azure Tools for Visual Studio. You can use either
the full editions of Visual Studio as well as the free edition of Visual Studio
Web Developer Express.
