  1. An Overview of Windows Azure Presented by Vince Mayfield CEO Bit-Wizards

  2. Azure Kentico Virtual Conference Agenda

  3. What is the Cloud?

  4. Evolutionary Meaning John McCarthy 1960s – “ Computation may someday be organized as a public utility” Metaphor Class Instantiated as an Object – Booche Telephone Network Computer Network Internet Today – Cloud Computing Wide Spread Adoption Virtualization SOA Autonomic & Utility Computing Details Abstracted from End User – No need for expertise or control over technology or infrastructure that supports them Commoditization – Utility Basing Computing

  5. Cloud Computing in a Nutshell Cloud Computing is the transformation of computer hardware, software and networks into a Utility just like the your Electric Company, Water Company, or Gas Company.

  6. Characteristics Defining the Cloud "Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability.

  7. Service Models Deployment Models Defining the Cloud

  8. Why The Cloud?

  9. The Gartner Hype Cycle

  10. The 2011 Gartner Hype Cycle Report "Gartner predicts that the most transformational technologies included in the Hype Cycle will be the following: Virtualization, Big Data, Cloud Advertising, Cloud Computing, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Public Cloud Computing, and Hybrid Cloud Computing.“ Gartner 2011 Hype Cycle Report

  11. Cloud is Here & Now “Annually Microsoft invests approximately 9 Billion dollars in R&D. As of 2012, 95% of Microsoft's 40,000 engineers are working on new cloud applications and new cloud services. Technology leaders like Microsoft do not invest this heavily on technology that is a fad or has no real chance of succeeding.” “The Cloud is fast changing the landscape of information technology and how businesses view and utilize IT resources” Vince Mayfield

  12. Top five advantages of cloud computing: Pay only for what you use Easy/fast deployment to end users Monthly payments Encourages standard systems Requires less in-house staff, costs Business Benefits of the Cloud

  13. Top Objections to the Cloud: Compliance Issues Security Control Chief Objections to the Cloud

  14. Underlying Issues: Fear Need to Own Stuff Control Change Perceived Risk What’s the Real Issue?

  15. REDUCED COSTS REDUCED COSTS FLEXIBILITY FLEXIBILITY AGILITY AGILITY YOU COULD ACHIEVE THESE BENEFITS: SCALABLE AND ELASTIC Business Benefits of the Cloud USAGE BASED SELF SERVICE EFFICIENT MORE MOBILITY MORE MOBILITY EASY TO IMPLEMENT EASY TO IMPLEMENT WITH AN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS: END USERPRODUCTIVITY END USERPRODUCTIVITY HIGHLY AUTOMATED HIGHLY AUTOMATED

  16. The Microsoft View of the Cloud

  17. What is the cloud? The Microsoft Cloud An approach to computing that’s about internet scale and connecting to a variety of devices and endpoints

  18. Cloud Computing Patterns “Unpredictable Bursting“ “Predictable Bursting“ Compute Compute Average Usage Average Usage Time Time • Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand • Sudden spike impacts performance • Can’t over provision for extreme cases • Services with micro seasonality trends • Peaks due to periodic increased demand • IT complexity and wasted capacity

  19. Cloud Computing 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 with growth is big IT challenge • Complex lead time for deployment

  20. Cloud Computing Terms PaaS SaaS IaaS Infrastructure-as-a-Service Platform-as-a-Service Software-as-a-Service build consume host
