 47% of New Apps are on-prem
 88% of Sockets in corp. datacenter
 98% of large Orgs have some
degree of virtualization
 20% of Orgs have Private Clouds
 Majority of cloud growth is IaaS
 Majority of new cloud apps are PaaS
 Most efficient model for cloud
development
 ~16% of new Apps qualify as SaaS
 Business model, not hosting model.
There are on-premise SaaS apps.

Editor's Notes

  • #3: There is an underlying principle at play here in the Cloud – which is that because as we have seen resources are cheap, plentiful and immediately available, different approaches can be taken to build applications the way we always wanted to – focus on the business problems using simple approaches. At the heart of this is the concept in your applications that anything, any part of the app can fail. You can for example have your web server tier fail and the application can keep working. How you do this is by having multiple instances of your web tier, many copies. Any of the copies can fail – the platform makes sure that it can detect and recover from these failure simply by spinning up a new instance. The platform also needs to make sure that your application instances are separated across redundant parts of the underlying physical infrastructure (in Azure we call these fault domains). Use the Azure storage as an example. You give a file to Azure – it saves that file 3 times in 3 different fault domains. If any of the copies of the file fail because maybe a disk failed, the platform creates another copy. The platform can also (and this happens in Azure by default) copy the file another three times to Azure storage in a data center > 500 miles away (in the same region) proving business continuity/DR capabilities.

  • #6: Over the last few years we’ve truly delivered a huge infrastructure to enable us to grow our services at scale around the globe. Whether it’s our flagship facilities in Quincy, Washington or Boydton, Virginia, or some of the newly announced facilities in Shanghai, Australia and Brazil, it really is key for us to make smart investments around the world to deliver services in a resilient and reliable fashion.   A lot of people ask, what goes into site selection at Microsoft and how do we decide where to place our datacenter investments? There are over thirty-five factors in our site selection criteria. But really, the top elements are around proximity to customers and energy and fiber infrastructure, insuring that we have the capacity and the growth platforms to be able to grow our services.   Another key element is about skilled workforce. We need to insure that we have the right people to run and operate our datacenters on a day to day basis.
  • #7: Transition from previous slide Let’s talk about the transformation that's actually happening within IT.   Goal of this slide Frames the enterprise cloud computing conversation by highlighting the evolution from traditional to cloud computing models. Define industry taxonomy around IaaS and PaaS. Talking Points: If you're in the infrastructure as a service layer (IaaS), you're thinking about your datacenter as a set of pooled virtual resources (including compute, network and storage), not in terms of individual hosts or VMs. That said, you still have to manage the virtual infrastructure, operating system and the full application stack. When you're in the platform as a service layer (PaaS), you're talking about building applications which will then be delivered as a service – the platform providing all the required building blocks for your app. You don’t have to worry about the underlying infrastructure, operating systems or the application platform infrastructure. You can focus all your energies on your applications. With Windows Azure with primarily offer PaaS but are moving towards robust IaaS capabilities (more to come in this presentation with the Roadmap) A couple of data points from internal Microsoft research: 41% of our customers are using services across on premise and public clouds 80% of our customers over next 3 to 5 years will use hybrid models

At the heart of this is the concept in your applications that anything, any part of the app can fail. You can for example have your web server tier fail and the application can keep working. How you do this is by having multiple instances of your web tier, many copies. Any of the copies can fail – the platform makes sure that it can detect and recover from these failure simply by spinning up a new instance. The platform also needs to make sure that your application instances are separated across redundant parts of the underlying physical infrastructure (in Azure we call these fault domains). Use the Azure storage as an example. You give a file to Azure – it saves that file 3 times in 3 different fault domains. If any of the copies of the file fail because maybe a disk failed, the platform creates another copy. The platform can also (and this happens in Azure by default) copy the file another three times to Azure storage in a data center > 500 miles away (in the same region) proving business continuity/DR capabilities.
