1 Businesses are forced to capitalize on new opportunities while constraining costs in fragile economic conditions

Infrastructure costs are fixed and ongoing, and distract from the mission of reducing business process friction and problems.

Leveraging past investments to provide future value.

Many data centers at limit—real estate, capacity, cooling and power.

Matching capacity to demand.

Maintaining security while increasing access and transparency—within and outside the organization.

Security, access, and transparency across the value chain: suppliers, partners, etc.

Lack of a common platform.

Cloud Computing is Maturing

“Cloud computing is a reality, and it's a force that IT professionals need to quickly come to terms with. The economic and social motivation for the cloud is high, the business need for speed and agility is greater than ever before, and the technology has reached a level in which prudent investments in cloud services are fast and easy.”–Network World, May 2009

"The reality is that cloud computing is a revolutionary style of computing that is emerging from evolutionary change. Underneath the fog, there are a number of trends that are converging to fuel the cloud-computing phenomenon. Cloud computing sets the stage for a new approach to IT that enables individuals and businesses to choose how they'll acquire or deliver IT services, with reduced emphasis on the constraints of traditional software and hardware licensing models."- Key Issues for Cloud Computing, 2010, Gartner – March, 29 2010

“Cloud infrastructure computing will move squarely into the mainstream as a significant number of Fortune 1000 companies adopt the utility computing model demonstrated by moving a portion of their "sandbox" apps into production on public clouds.” – Worldwide Software Business Solutions 2010 Top 10 Predictions: The "New Normal" for Enterprise Software, IDC - February 2010, Doc #222024

Generally accepted as the next logical step in IT evolution

A revolutionary style of computing

Cloud computing is moving into the mainstream

Storage

• Blobs – Large Data Store• Tables – Very Fast / Scalable Storage• Queues – Background work processing• Drives – NTFS Formatted Page Blobs • SQL Azure – Relational SQL in the Cloud

– Core DB Functionality– Management– SQL Data Sync

Windows Azure AppFabric(Formerly known as .NET Services)

• Service Bus• Access Control Service

Windows Azure Cloud Fabric(Fabric Controller)

• Multiple virtual instances• Easy provision of applications• Detect failures• Spin up new instances to replace the failed ones• How many instances and what role they will play• Load balances and DNS• Elasticity of the service… scaling up/down number of

instances

Windows Azure DevFabric(Cloud in a box)

• Simulated “Cloud Experience” for Development– Routes cloud requests to local machine– Simulates data storage with local SQL server database– Azure SQL simulated with local SQL Server database
