  1. Windows Azure – Why not? Eric Nelson ericnel@microsoft.com Application Architect| Microsoft UK | http://www.ericnelson.co.uk

  2. Agenda • Cloud Computing • What, Why and When • The Windows Azure™ Platform • What • Transitioning to Cloud Computing • How

  3. Cloud Computing

  4. Simplifying Cloud Computing

  5. What Is Cloud Computing • Service Delivered On-demand • Broad Network Access £ Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction Compute Average Usage Time • Shared Pool Of Resources • Supports Elastic Demand = • Measured Service National Institute of Standards and technology off off on

  6. What different types exist today? • Private • (On-Premise) • Dedicated • (Managed Hosting) • Infrastructure • (as a Service) • Platform • (as a Service) • Applications • Applications • Applications • Applications Your value • You manage • Data • Data • Data • Data • Security and Integration • Security and Integration • Security and Integration • Security and Integration • You manage • Databases • Databases • Databases • Databases • You manage • Managed by vendor • O/S • O/S • O/S • O/S • Managed by vendor • Managed by vendor • Virtualization • Virtualization • Virtualization • Virtualization • Servers • Servers • Servers • Servers • Storage • Storage • Storage • Storage • Networking • Networking • Networking • Networking 6

  7. Why now Is The Right Time For Cloud Services • A Convergence of Factors Pervasive network access across Corporate, SMBs and Consumers CIOs need to deliver strategic, competitive value… outsourcing other functions sharpens internal focus Economic environment tightening IT budgets drive demand for more economically efficient solutions Improved security and acceptance of secure data centersby customers Emergence of platforms for developing and delivering cloud applications – PaaS, SaaS and IaaS Cloud Services Now is the Time Greater depth & breadth of cloud offerings and alignment with diverse customer needs (e.g. SMBs, Corporates) 7

  8. Why Is The Cloud Relevant For You • Analyst Forecasts • “Spending on public IT cloud services will grow 5X the rate of the IT industry in 2011, up 30% from 2010.” • “By 2012, 80% of Fortune 1000 enterprises will be using some cloud computing services, 20% of businesses will own no IT assets.” • Source: IDC (March 2010) • Source: IDC (March 2010) • Source: Gartner • ISV Top Of Mind Issues • Remaining • Competitive • Managing • Data Centers • Staying • Focused • Maintaining Security, privacy and continuity • Reducing • Costs • Embracing • Globalization

  9. Why Is The Cloud Relevant For You Reduce operating costs and increase revenue • New market channels via SaaS, Cloud Services • New business opportunities enabled by massively scalable storage and compute power • New Geographies £ £ £ Improve business agility and shorten time to market Cloud computing is here to stay

  10. When should you adopt?

  11. Just some of the 200+

  12. Videos to watch…

  13. When should you use: Optimal Workload Patterns “Growing Fast“ “On and Off “ Inactivity Period Compute Compute Average Usage Usage Average Time Time • On and off workloads (e.g. batch job) • Over provisioned capacity is wasted • Time to market can be cumbersome • Successful services needs to grow/scale • Keeping up w/growth is big IT challenge • Complex lead time for deployment “Unpredictable Bursting“ “Predictable Bursting“ Compute Compute Average Usage Average Usage Time Time • Services with micro seasonality trends • Peaks due to periodic increased demand • IT complexity and wasted capacity • Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand • Sudden spike impacts performance • Can’t over provision for extreme cases

  14. Today… Allocated IT-capacities Load Forecast Not Enough Power Too Much Power IT CAPACITY ActualLoad TIME

  15. Tomorrow Load Forecast No screaming customers Capacity on Demand IT CAPACITY No capital laying idle Knob goes up... And... down Lower Capex ActualLoad TIME

  16. When should you use: Many other scenarios “I want to try something now“ “Departmental“ Machines Machines Time Time • Need to quickly provision new machines for a temporary period of time • Need to quickly provision new machines for a departmental solution “Just store data in the Cloud“ “Extend to the Cloud“ • With all processing elsewhere • Extend existing applications “Migrate existing applications“ “New hybrid services“ • Benefits of reduced operational costs • On-premise and Cloud aka S+S
