8. Whatis the Cloud? The meaning behind “Cloud” computing changed in 2010. Back in the beginning of time, the term, “Cloud” was about instantly scalable computing. Now: Microsoft has been marketing “Windows Server” as a Cloud solution since 2010. Anything with an IP

9. Is the End User the Goal Still? • Marketing Exchange as “Cloud” • You, Company, and Industry • Focus on requirements • Closed vs Open Solution

10. Whatis the Exchange Cloud? • Public Cloud Mailboxes – sharedresources(mailboxes) • Dedicated Cloud – specificresourcesallocated to yourcompany • PrivateCloud - controlling end to end of the Exchange Solution • Hybrid Cloud = Public Cloud MBs + Private • Public Cloud Infrastructure (not supported) • Hybrid Public Cloud Infrastructure (not supported)

11. DNA of Cloud Mailboxes • LowCost • Easiest administration • GeographicDiversity • Mail Hygiene "included" • Free upgrades to new features • Least time commitment for IT • Set UptimeSLA • Email Latency

13. Do you know the Private Cloud? • Maximum Configuration Support • Ability to deploy 3rd party solutions • Not affectedby "high volume"users • Controllable maintenance windows • $ Public Cloud < $$ Private Cloud ≤ $$ Dedicated Cloud < Hybrid Cloud $$$ • Dedicated Support Procedure and Escalation

14. Chromosomes of Hybrid Cloud • Benefits of Public and Private Cloud • Single Directory • Seamlesspasswordintegration • Smooth Migration to Public Cloud • Message flow via Private Cloud
