Cloud Computing according to Analysts
 Cloud Computing Proliferation

The industry is going through a significant transformation across the entire

stack:

• Datacenter and Hardware Model: Significant advances and

standardization in the Datacenter and associated IT
equipment/hardware.

• Application Model: Cloud computing provides the ability to quickly

deliver highly-available, secure and infinitely geo-scalable applications
and services while offering a rich end-user experience from anywhere
and any device.

• Operational Model: Cloud services have inherent resilience to hardware

or software failures due to redundant/self-healing service models
combined with deep integration between ops & development/test
providing a lights out experience.
• Data Center Commodity:
• Companies including Microsoft created large clouds:
• Microsoft Data Centers
• Highly Reliable and Available
• Fully automated, zero manual impact
• Spread Geographically across the world
• 1.8 Billion Hotmail Accounts
• Hosted BPOS & Azure environment
• Internal IT Environment

• Cost
• CIO’S Top Challenges:
• 40% CIOs plan to cut IT budgets
• 72% CIOs have cut or plan to cut discretionary IT projects
• 59% of surveyed CIOs view datacenter efficiency as “must do”
projects

• Challenge people to look at the cloud more broadly
• Multidimensional transformation
• Some companies provide some interesting components
• Microsoft is uniquely delivering on a wide range of cloud
capabilities that bringing more value to customers.

• Five dimensions that define the way people use and realize value in the
cloud:
• The cloud creates opportunities and responsibilities
• The cloud learns and helps you learn, decide and take action
• The cloud enhances your social and professional interactions
• The cloud wants smarter devices
• The cloud drives server advances that drive the cloud

This view fuels Microsoft’s investments across the entire company,

from datacenters to cloud platform technologies to cloud-based
development tools and applications.
• Standardization: Homogeneous infrastructures with vertical
integration across server, network, storage and OS.

• Service Focused: It’s all about delivering the application or service that
the business demands and not the component services (e.g.
infrastructure).

• Automation: Significant levels of automation, based on cloud

principled philosophies like resiliency, scalability and elasticity.

• “Lights out” Operations: Scale through the app design and

abstraction from infrastructure.

• Utilization based chargeback

• Bridge the public & private cloud gap:
• Ensure applications can run consistently across server and cloud

• Provide the same development tools/ technologies for cloud &

on-premises environments

• Providing unified management for apps/workloads across on

premises and cloud environments

• Enable workload federation to enable hybrid cloud models

All the above principles will remain true whether it’s your assets or if
you’re working with a service provider or deploying to Microsoft’s
datacenters.
