At Teched 2013 North American
Table of contents:
Teched is the most important technological event of Microsoft, both in its North American and European events, to be held in Madrid the last week of June.
The USA version, which has been taking place since Monday the 3rd of this month, in the city of New Orleans - where Hurricane Katrina, the zombies and rhythm & blues - began with a long presentation by prominent company officials, with Brad Anderson, Vice President of MS, acting as master of ceremony.
Surprises, news and announcements
We had already been warned from certain circles to be present, via streaming, at the opening of the event. And there I was, watching Scott Guthrie tell the news on Windows Azure pricing, and the announcement that you no longer pay for stopped instances. Only for those that are working.
Things started to heat up when he pointed out that a contest has started among users of the Microsoft Cloud where the prize is nothing more and nothing less than an Aston Martin!
And now Brian Harry's arrives and, when he was waiting for the official presentation of the third update of the programming environment - Visual Studio 2012 - he gets off the hook with the announcement of the arrival of a complete new version… 2013 And, in addition, accompanied by the Application Life Cycle tool, Team Foundation Server 2013
Curious nomenclature considering that we are already halfway through the year.
But we still had more surprises when Quentin Clarck, another Microsoft vice president, and his Bee Gees shirt began to talk about Big Data, Insight, Business Intelligence, to finally announce hype and cymbal to the new SQL Server 2014
Followed by an invitation to Eron Kelly for an impressive demonstration of visual data mining on a globe, including a short tour of the demo effect.
To finish off the news, and just when I thought there wouldn't be much left in the hat, the Redmond guys announce the arrival of Windows 2012 Server R2 and System Center 2012 R2 The very essence of operating systems that were released less than a year ago.
In short, a powerful start to the star event of the most IT branch of Microsoft, full of announcements and news, and that leaves me with very high expectations for what It will happen in the next E3 and in the Madrid version of TechEd.
