Any public facing WCF/ASMX service Open or username/password protected
A WCF service that wraps any OData serviceA WCF service that wraps any REST-based serviceA WCF service that exposes data from any database An on-premises WCF service
Use a Windows Azure WCF Service as a proxy serviceAccess on-premises service via Windows Azure Service Bus
