Resource: Microsoft Azure Cloud Adoption Test Lab Guides

As companies approach major decisions about migrating to cloud based services it is important to analyze the options.

However, it is one thing to read all the information you can get access to but it is another to actually use these services in a test environment that corresponds to your organizations structure and specific needs.

Microsoft's TechNet Library provides some excellent resources that can help you set up a Cloud Adoption Test Lab to test Office 365,  Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS), SharePoint Server 2016, Exchange 2016, and a hybrid cloud environment.

Here is a rundown of some of the Cloud Adoption Test Guides that are available:

Other Cloud Test Environments

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
