BPOs 2010 dhe "superset”

I was reading one of these pretty generic blah-like articles on BPOS (Microsoft Exchange dhe SharePoint në retë;) dhe fatmirësisht waded deri në fund:

Në kushtet e afat-mesme deliverables të tjera, Microsoft është kryerjes të sigurojë në BPOs scripting PowerShell v.Next amtare përmes një endpoint PowerShell ndërtuar Version PowerShell 2. Authentication will be done through Online IDs, with a single credential being able to be used for both PowerShell and the portal.Keane echoed the message other Microsoft execs have been voicing at TechEd this week: Cloud capabilities, over time, will  become a superset of what is available on-premises. Currently, the reverse is true, and Microsoft’s Online services offer a subset of the functions available in the software equivalents of each product.

The notion that the cloud will provide more capability than on-premise is new to me. I wonder how true that is going to be in the end.  It feels counterintuitive to me.  I totally get the idea that a lot of companies will move stuff to the cloud (or start off in the cloud) but I normally think they do it because the pro’s (easier admin, SLAs, etj) far outweigh the cons (reduced functionality). 

I’m having a little bit of a hard time believing that cloud offerings will exceed on-prem capabilities.  Multi-tenant is hard and seems like it must force compromises in order to provide good SLA and ease of use…

I’ll probably be eating my words on this.  I remember thinking that no one could possibly need more than 650 mb of data and therefore, the CD was never going to be improved upon.

SharePoint Online dhe InfoPath

Unë mund të jetë personi i fundit për të realizuar këtë, por SharePoint Online (që unë shpesh dëgjoj njerëz që thonë është një WSS përlëvduar) mbështet InfoPath Format Shërbimet.  Kjo është sende goxha i fuqishëm, sidomos duke pasur parasysh se PF IP është një tipar i Ndërmarrjeve MOSS dhe BPOs është diçka si $ 1.99/month për 10,000 përdoruesit.  Maybe it’s a little more than that.

Kështu, SharePoint Online defies easy definition.  It has this enterprise feature, but no anonymous access (which even WSS supports).  You can do some interesting stuff with search (MOSS-ish, since you can define site level scopes), but if you need access to the SSP, you can’t do it.  You can play the “on the one hand and on the other” game all night long with this product 🙂

Microsoft is due to release a new version of SP Online in the next few months.  I wonder what weird hybrid it’s going be?
