Azure 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.

The vector stencils library "Azure architecture - Enterprise" contains 98 Microsoft Azure architecture symbols.
Use this enterprise cloud icon set to design your cloud computing architecture diagrams.
"Enterprise cloud computing is the special case of utilizing cloud computing for competitive advantage through breakout opportunities both for cost savings and, more importantly, for business innovation in terms of unprecedented speed and agility with vastly improved collaboration among business partners and customers."

"A virtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine (for example, a computer) that executes programs like a physical machine. Virtual machines are separated into two major classes, based on their use and degree of correspondence to any real machine:
(1) A system virtual machine provides a complete system platform which supports the execution of a complete operating system (OS). These usually emulate an existing architecture, and are built with the purpose of either providing a platform to run programs where the real hardware is not available for use (for example, executing on otherwise obsolete platforms), or of having multiple instances of virtual machines leading to more efficient use of computing resources, both in terms of energy consumption and cost effectiveness (known as hardware virtualization, the key to a cloud computing environment), or both.
(2) A process virtual machine (also, language virtual machine) is designed to run a single program, which means that it supports a single process." [Virtual machine. Wikipedia]

This example of cloud computing system architecture diagram was created on the base of picture in the article "What is StorSimple?" by Sharon Smith from the Microsoft Azure website.
"Microsoft Azure StorSimple is an efficient, cost-effective, and manageable solution that eliminates many of the issues and expense associated with enterprise storage and data protection. It uses a proprietary device (the Microsoft Azure StorSimple device) and integrated management tools to provide a seamless view of all enterprise storage, including cloud storage."
