Windows Azure – a platform for apps

A Platform for ISV’sThe Foundation forCloud Services

A Modern Application

App Usage Patterns

Predictable BurstingServices with micro seasonality trends Peaks due to periodic increased demandIT complexity and wasted capacity

Unpredictable BurstingUnexpected/unplanned peak in demand Sudden spike impacts performance Can’t over provision for extreme cases

Growing FastSuccessful services needs to grow/scale Keeping up w/ growth is big IT challenge Cannot provision hardware fast enough

On and OffOn & off workloads (e.g. batch job)Over provisioned capacity is wasted Time to market can be cumbersome

Total Cost on

Separate Hardware

WHAT IF…• We could share the hardware and the

software across applications, across organizations…

• We could scale up/down to closely match application needs & pay only for what I am using…

• Resilience was baked in

• Building applications was easier

Cost Saving

+ Costs to make systems resilient

Virtualization is the Foundation

OPERATING SYSTEM

(Windows)

VIRTUALIZATION (Hyper-V)

• A file on a disk – the

physical machine became

a software representation

• Hyper-V understands and

runs this file

• VM’s configured against

the physical resources

• You install an OS and all

needed software in the VM

“The Windows Azure platform is a highly effective and low cost option for hosting complex solutions with agility and scalability.”

“With Windows Azure, we didn’t have to make changes to the architecture of our solution to get it running. To start up quickly—that is really big for us."

• Relocation of Commodity Software

• Old applications with little integration

• Applications built with or on unsupported technologies

• Applications with highly seasonal load

• Important business applications operating with

unacceptable risk
