Microsoft Azure reference architecture

This cloud computing system architecture diagram example was created on the base of the picture in the post "Windows Azure Solution Cookbook" from the Clint Edmonson's blog notsotrivial.net.
"The diagram you see ... is designed to provide a layered architectural overview of the developer and infrastructure services currently available in Windows Azure." [notsotrivial.net/ blog/ post/ 2012/ 07/ 02/ Windows-Azure-Solution-Cookbook.aspx]
The diagram example "Microsoft Azure reference architecture" was created using ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Azure Architecture solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"Microsoft SharePoint is a Web application platform developed by Microsoft. First launched in 2001, SharePoint has historically been associated with intranet, content management and document management, but recent versions have significantly broader capabilities.
SharePoint comprises a multipurpose set of Web technologies backed by a common technical infrastructure. By default, SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite. The web tools are designed to be usable by non-technical users. SharePoint can be used to provide intranet portals, document & file management, collaboration, social networks, extranets, websites, enterprise search, and business intelligence. It also has system integration, process integration, and workflow automation capabilities.
Enterprise application software (e.g. ERP or CRM packages) often provide some SharePoint integration capability, and SharePoint also incorporates a complete development stack based on web technologies and standards-based APIs. As an application platform, SharePoint provides central management, governance, and security controls for implementation of these requirements. The SharePoint platform integrates directly into IIS - enabling bulk management, scaling, and provisioning of servers, as is often required by large organizations or cloud hosting providers."

This IDEF0 diagram example was redesigned from the Wikimedia Commons file: C4ISR Architecture Framework, Example Activity Diagram in IDEF0 Format.jpg. [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ File:C4ISR_ Architecture_ Framework,_ Example_ Activity_ Diagram_ in_ IDEF0_ Format.jpg]
"... the C4ISR concept of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance ..." [en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ C4ISR]
"The C4ISR Architectural Framework (C4ISR AF) is now known as DoDAF, is a reference model developed by the US Department of Defense in the 1990s." [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ Category:C4ISR_ Architecture_ Framework]
"The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is an architecture framework for the United States Department of Defense (DoD) that provides visualization infrastructure for specific stakeholders concerns through viewpoints organized by various views. These views are artifacts for visualizing, understanding, and assimilating the broad scope and complexities of an architecture description through tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal, graphical, probabilistic, or alternative conceptual means.
This Architecture Framework is especially suited to large systems with complex integration and interoperability challenges, and it is apparently unique in its employment of "operational views". These views offer overview and details aimed to specific stakeholders within their domain and in interaction with other domains in which the system will operate."

The example "C4ISR architecture framework - IDEF0 activity diagram" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the solution "IDEF Business Process Diagrams" from the area "Business Processes" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
