Connecting straight has some additional consideration though. You will have to figure out how to stay your customer data separate, which should not be too inflexible. The major thing I think to worry about is storing your key on the phone. It is imaginable the phone will be hacked at a number of time and if an important person could get your key they would gain admission to everything in your storage. I have been investigating that recently to see if there is a good way to stock up data like that steadily on the phone and have not approach up with something yet. So, connecting directly to the azure service has a number of the advantages which will provide to you a secure and proper access to your data and for further help and support you can contact the Microsoft where you can go in the windowsazure section to get the detailed knowledge.

If you are running position in the cloud then I would not attach directly for certain. The motivation to attach directly is $$$. If all you desire to do is stock up stuff like the movies and the data which are most valuable to you suggests and want to do it as cheaply as possible then you could connect straight to the azure storage and upload/download objects, then you wouldn’t have to run any turn at all. Just one roll is a least amount of $85 a month to run full time .So by linking directly you only have to pay for bandwidth in/out and the real storage space cost 0.15 per GB, this is the ultimate solution to your problem.
