Microsoft Azure cloud computing
- 2. What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services — including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence — over the Internet to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. You typically pay only for cloud services you use, helping you lower your operating costs, run your infrastructure more efficiently, and scale as your business needs change.
- 3. Top Bene fi ts of Clouds Here are six common reasons organizations are turning to cloud services Cost Cloud computing eliminates the capital expense of buying hardware and software, the round-the-clock electricity for power and cooling, and the IT experts for managing the infrastructure. Speed Vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes. Global scale More or less computing power, storage, bandwidth — right when they’re needed, and from the right geographic location. Productivity Cloud computing removes the need for hardware setup, software patching, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals. Performance The biggest cloud computing services run on a worldwide network of secure datacenters, which are regularly upgraded to the latest generation of fast and efficient computing hardware Security Cloud providers offer a broad set of technologies, and controls that strengthen your security posture overall, helping protect your data, apps, and infrastructure.
- 4. Azure Cloud Technologies Microsoft Cloud Computing Azure global infrastructure is made up of two key components —physical infrastructure and connective network components. The physical component is comprised of 160+ physical datacenters, arranged into regions, and linked by one of the largest interconnected networks on the planet. Microsoft is a leading global provider of cloud computing services for businesses of all sizes. More than 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies use Azure. Global infrastructure Data centers Azure datacenters are unique physical buildings — located all over the globe — that house a group of networked computer servers.
- 5. Market share of clouds For full-year 2020, total cloud infrastructure services spending grew 33% to US$142 billion, up from US$107 billion in 2019. Demand was higher than expected.

- 23. Simulation framework for the Audi A8 was operated on in-house compute and storage clusters at two locations. In Germany, for example, a cluster with approximately 12 petabytes storage capacity and 60 computers in parallel was used to create the simulation. However, further expansion of the data centre would not have been economical. Adrian James has reason to believe that next- generation vehicles will generate four gigabytes of raw sensor data per second. To be able to run the same number of simulations, Audi would have to acquire and operate approximately 200 petabytes of storage capacity and the same amount of computing capacity. AUDI AG Automobile manufacturer ‣ Azure Application Gateway ‣ Azure CycleCloud ‣ Azure Event Hubs ‣ Azure Key Vault ‣ Azure Monitor ‣ Azure Service Bus ‣ Azure SQL Database ‣ Azure Storage The road to autonomous driving runs through the cloud Germany Products and Services “Thanks to the cloud, we have found the right solution to the challenge of storage capacity and computing. We can now focus entirely on the development and safety of our technical solutions for automated and autonomous driving.“ —Adrian James: Head of Automated Driving Safety AUDI AG Country Corporate (10,000+ employees) Organization Size Objective point Solution Only a cloud platform could provide the capacity Audi needs. He fi nally chose Microsoft Azure because Microsoft o ff ered more than just processing power and storage space. Another essential criterion is IT security.
- 24. XBOX Video gaming Xbox game publishers access royalties even faster now with Blockchain ‣ Azure Cosmos DB ‣ Azure Blockchain ‣ Power BI United States Products and Services Country Corporate (10,000+ employees) Organization Size “With Azure Blockchain Service, the people who play in this economy— developers, publishers, platforms— can work better together and have more con fi dence in what we share back and forth.“ —Tim Stuart: Xbox Chief Financial O ffi cer Microsoft Video games evolve at warp speed, revolutionizing the way players play. But the fi nancial reporting systems used for compensating game publishers were based on an accounting model created when quill on parchment was still in vogue. Although spreadsheets hasten fi nancial processing, using them to calculate and reconcile game royalties—which often cascade out to musicians, special e ff ects houses, and a widening pool of other providers—gobbled time and kept fi nance teams from more strategic work. Objective point Solution The Xbox Finance team adopted blockchain technology, seeking to eliminate the need for time-consuming reconciliation and shorten the access time to royalties information for its game publishers from 45 days to minutes. Publishers can pull data o ff the ledger directly into Azure Cosmos DB and visualize in Microsoft Power BI for further insights.

ASOS Online fashion retailer Online retailer uses cloud database to deliver world-class shopping experiences ‣ Azure Cosmos DB ‣ Azure Data Factory ‣ Azure Data Lake Storage ‣ Azure Event Hubs ‣ Azure Functions ‣ Azure HDInsight ‣ Azure Service Fabric ‣ Azure SQL Database United Kingdom Country Large (1,000 - 9,999 employees) Organization Size “We chose Azure Cosmos DB because of its global distribution and ability to handle heavy seasonal bursts like Black Friday.“ —Bob Strudwick: Chief Technology O ffi cer ASOS Products and Services Objective point Solution Because ASOS o ff ers such a broad selection—85,000 items with 5,000 new ones added each week—it is creating a recommendations platform to help its more than 15 million customers discover new products that they’ll love. Product recommendations must be generated in real time as users browse product listings, with low end-to-end latency to ensure quick page-load times. The online recommendations service must be able to elastically scale throughput and maintain high availability to handle peak holiday shopping seasons. The company uses Azure Cosmos DB to generate real-time recommendations. The platform supports the o ffl ine training and scoring of a range of machine learning models. These are used for real-time calculation of product relevancy and the likelihood of a customer viewing, saving, adding to a cart, and ultimately buying a product.
