Is Windows Azure right for you?
Why the Cloud?
Why Microsoft?
Why Windows Azure?
Why “not” Windows Azure?
How do I get in?
What we will cover …
Office 365
CRM Online
SharePoint Online
What we won’t …
Why the Cloud?
Cloud =
BIG
Cloud is REAL
Cloud is EXCITING
Just like Electricity
vs
Easy
Ubiquitous
Lower barrier of entry
Consumption-based billing
Capacity on tap
Benefits of a Utility Service Model
It’s been done before
The Cloud is just fancy Virtualisation
The Cloud is not for me because I don’t … Build hugely scalable applications
Use technical computing, map/reduce, etc.
The Cloud is not for me because I am an Enterprise
Cloud Computing locks you in to a vendor
The Cloud is not secure
Debunking the Myths
Why Microsoft?
Breadth
Symmetry
Synergy
Experience

Usage Patterns for Cloud
Growing Declining
Flat Burst
Seasonal
Unpredictable
Scenarios for Cloud Computing Scenario Why Suitable
Public facing Web Sites You’re already comfortable with it being on the Internet
Applications with Changing Load Benefit from cost efficiency provided by Elastic nature of the Cloud Only pay for what you use
Applications with Uncertain Lifetime Easy Entry and Easy Exit
Scale Fast or Fail Fast Turn up the power, turn down the power as you need
Data Centre Extension Burst overflow during peak periods
Disaster Recovery Off-site back-up storage or fail over
SaaS Business Model Cloud is ideally suited to do SaaS
Physical Control Geographic Proximity Regulatory Compliance Data Security Data Sovereignty
Does this mean Cloud is NOT for me ?
What are (some of) the challenges?
How do I get this Cloud Thing?

Adoption
Clarity & Insight
Identifying Opportunities
SLA Requirements
Data Sensitivity
Policy Barriers
Regulatory Barriers
Platform Alignment
Ease of Code Migration
Ease of Data Migration
Savings
Access Method
Usage Pattern
Calculating TCO
On-Premises TCO Hosting
Facilities – including energy & cooling costs
Hardware
Licensing
Maintenance
Labour
Other
In-Cloud TCO Data transfers
Compute
Storage
CDN
SQL Azure
Access Control
Service Bus
Other
Savings & ROI
Monthly Savings = In-Cloud TCO – On-Premises TCO
Total Savings = Savings X Months
ROI = Total Savings – Migration Expenses
And that’s a wrap…
The Cloud is BIG, it’s REAL, it’ Happening!
Microsoft is well positioned in PaaS Microsoft has synergy & symmetry from on-premises to
the Cloud and back again
Windows Azure Platform is great, for the right scenario
Intergen knows Windows Azure…
