- In the last few years, we have seen an explosive growth in the use of the public cloud. While most of the initial adoption was seen by startups and smaller orgs, most of the new growth will come from larger organizations adopting the public cloud. Now you might ask what’s causing cloud adoption at such a fierce rate. There are 3 fundamentals business drivers at play here: SPEED: With minutes instead of days/weeks to procure & provision servers, the pace of innovation has dramatically increased. Reduced ‘time to develop’ & ‘time to market’ means your IT can be much more agile in servicing needs of the business units or developers. Embrace & Enable Innovation. Help your business move forward against the competition. In fact, it is the speed and agility that IT hasn’t been able to provide has resulted in what many call “Shadow IT” where business units are resorting to using credit cards to procure computing resources outside of the purview of the IT. SCALE: Cloud gives you an almost infinite set of computing resources. Your applications will enjoy massive global scale, and can easily scale up or down depending on the demand. That means, you never have to worry about running out of capacity or worry about overprovisioning. You use just enough resources for your needs - nothing more, nothing less. ECONOMICS: And of course, you’re paying only for what you use in the Cloud. This in itself saves you money for any app that has variable computing needs. For some organizations, there is also an additional benefit of changing CapEX to OpEX, which frees up capital from infrastructure investments so it can be put to other uses.
- You are not alone , there are many government around the world that are leading the rest of the industries in harnessing the power of cloud. They do it for three reasons: Economics: the cloud is cheaper and i will get into the reason why. In the longe run analysts expect a convergence to public clouds but from a cost model it is easy to see why large governments do not move as quickly or move differently than smaller entities (eg municipalities) Agility: The cloud offers better demand management without entry barriers. Its promise to provide ‚evergreen‘ latest stage services helps governments to regain agility both from a citizen service but also from a financial perspective (CAPEX -> OPEX) Innovation: The cloud unleashes innovation potential by taking away CAPEX investment requirements, the ability to open data sources and to connect governments, citizens and businesses way beyond what is possible today
- But as you think about using the public cloud, there are some top of mind issues you have to reckon with. If you’re like most organizations, you have your existing servers and IT infrastructure (either on-premises in your own datacenters or in 3rd part colocation facilities). You also have an IT staff to manage these assets. So as you think about using the public cloud, you’re not thinking of it in a silo – ideally where possible you’d want to integrate the public cloud with existing IT, manage it no differently, and even have applications with parts running on and off-premises. Latest IDC findings show 40% of enterprises are already adopting hybrid clouds today (source - http://www.infosys.com/newsroom/press-releases/Pages/cloud-ecosystem-integrator.aspx). You’re also probably running a variety of OSs, databases, middleware and toolsets from multiple IT vendors. Your developers are proficient in multiple languages and your apps are written in multiple languages and frameworks. In other words, your IT environment is complex and heterogeneous. And you want to make sure the cloud you choose is able to handle your heterogeneous needs. Next you have to abide by a bunch of security and compliance initiatives. The rest of the business trusts your IT org to run apps in a secure and reliable manner. So you want to make sure the public cloud platform and the vendor who provides the service is using is trustworthy, i.e. has the right experience and expertise, and has necessary SLAs, and security controls in place.
- Let’s see what you as enterprise customers uniquely expect from a public cloud platform. These are “must haves”: Integration – So you can integrate with your existing apps and infrastructure. Heterogeneity - So you can continue to support multiple languages, frameworks, OSs Security – So you continue to run your enterprise apps securely and reliably Windows Azure, our public cloud offering, addresses these needs. Windows Azure is built on three core fundamentals:
- On-premises AND Cloud: We believe in a world where you’re integrating public cloud with your on-premises infrastructure, and using each where it makes sense, in conjunction with each other. Think and, not or. It’s not an on-premises OR cloud proposition – it’s an AND proposition. And when we say integration, we mean true integration – across infrastructure, apps, identity, and databases. This is what we call hybrid. Microsoft is the only company which has the necessary assets across virtualization, identity, data platform , development and management to provide a consistent experiences across on-premises, our cloud and 3rd party service providers. This vision and strategy - called “Cloud OS” – is what we aim to deliver for our customers. If you choose look at other Cloud vendors that provide public OR private cloud offerings (Amazon, VMware, or Google), you have to cobble together disparate offerings and you will not get a seamless experience.
- Open, Broad and flexible: We realize that you’ll want to run a variety of workloads in the cloud. In Windows Azure, we will of course provide first and best experience and support for Microsoft workloads, but at the same time we have embraced other open technologies so you get a cloud experience that satisfies your heterogeneous needs. In enterprises, Java and .NET are still most used, but developers are also using PHP, Python and other languages in addition. Windows Azure supports all these languages and more. Windows Azure provides out-of-the box experience for open frameworks like Hadoop, web frameworks like Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal. We also provide first party SDKs for developing apps using Android, IOS or Windows phones. We not only support, but have embraced open technologies. We also provide a broad set of services that provide you a good choice. In addition to the breadth of the platform, it’s important to note that using Windows Azure is not an all or nothing proposition. You can use most services independently of each other. For example, you can just use storage without compute or use DB without using storage. What you want to use and how you want to use is really YOUR choice.
- As you take the journey into the Cloud, you need a secure and trustworthy platform. And you need someone who’s committed to the Cloud. Let’s talk about the three things that makes Windows Azure and Microsoft a trustworthy platform: Transparency, Relationship and Experience
- We believe in Trust through Transparency. We are transparent in the following ways: We participate in industry standards like ISO 27001, SSAE16 and Cloud Security Alliance. We undertake yearly audits with independent 3rd parties We provide a rich set of financially backed monthly SLAs (this differentiates us from other cloud providers like AMZN whose SLAs are fewer and annual). Monthly SLAs are more stringent with less room for error than yealy SLAs All of our regulatory compliance and privacy policies are clearly explained in the online portal called Trust Center We provide real time status of all the services via a Service Dashboard. We provide Root Cause Analyses in case of issues.
- Windows Azure is not our first foray into Cloud Computing. We have been doing this for more than two decades, and have the deepest experience in the industry. Our first datacenter was in 1989. Since then, we have run some of the largest global services securely and efficiently – Bing, Office 365 and Hotmail just to name a few. Today, we run over 200+ global services 24x7 and here are some stats to show you how large scale and global our operations are. Windows Azure is operated in the same manner by the same teams as some of these other global services. You can rest assure that security and operational efficiency is at our core.
- Let’s pause and summarize the design principles that make Windows Azure a true enterprise ready platform.
- Slide Objectives: Explain the differences and relationship between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in more detail. Speaking Points: Here’s another way to look at the cloud services taxonomy and how this taxonomy maps to the components in an IT infrastructure. Packaged Software With packaged software a customer would be responsible for managing the entire stack – ranging from the network connectivity to the applications. IaaS With Infrastructure as a Service, the lower levels of the stack are managed by a vendor. Some of these components can be provided by traditional hosters – in fact most of them have moved to having a virtualized offering. Very few actually provide an OS The customer is still responsible for managing the OS through the Applications. For the developer, an obvious benefit with IaaS is that it frees the developer from many concerns when provisioning physical or virtual machines. This was one of the earliest and primary use cases for Amazon Web Services Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2). Developers were able to readily provision virtual machines (AMIs) on EC2, develop and test solutions and, often, run the results ‘in production’. The only requirement was a credit card to pay for the services. PaaS With Platform as a Service, everything from the network connectivity through the runtime is provided and managed by the platform vendor. The Windows Azure best fits in this category today. In fact because we don’t provide access to the underlying virtualization or operating system today, we’re often referred to as not providing IaaS. PaaS offerings further reduce the developer burden by additionally supporting the platform runtime and related application services. With PaaS, the developer can, almost immediately, begin creating the business logic for an application. Potentially, the increases in productivity are considerable and, because the hardware and operational aspects of the cloud platform are also managed by the cloud platform provider, applications can quickly be taken from an idea to reality very quickly. SaaS Finally, with SaaS, a vendor provides the application and abstracts you from all of the underlying components.
