Matching capacity to demand.
Maintaining security while increasing access and transparency—within and outside the organization.
Security, access, and transparency across the value chain: suppliers, partners, etc.
Lack of a common platform.
Businesses are forced to capitalize on new opportunities while constraining costs in fragile economic conditions
Infrastructure costs are fixed and ongoing, and distract from the mission of reducing business process friction and problems.
Leveraging past investments to provide future value.
Many data centers at limit—real estate, capacity, cooling and power.

Cloud Computing is Maturing
Generally accepted as the next logical step in IT evolution
A revolutionary style of computing
Cloud computing is moving into the mainstream
“Cloud computing is a reality, and it's a force that IT professionals need to quickly come to terms with. The economic and social motivation for the cloud is high, the business need for speed and agility is greater than ever before, and the technology has reached a level in which prudent investments in cloud services are fast and easy.”
–Network World,
May 2009
"The reality is that cloud computing is a revolutionary style of computing that is emerging from evolutionary change. Underneath the fog, there are a number of trends that are converging to fuel the cloud-computing phenomenon. Cloud computing sets the stage for a new approach to IT that enables individuals and businesses to choose how they'll acquire or deliver IT services, with reduced emphasis on the constraints of traditional software and hardware licensing models."
- Key Issues for Cloud Computing, 2010, Gartner – March, 29 2010
“Cloud infrastructure computing will move squarely into the mainstream as a significant number of Fortune 1000 companies adopt the utility computing model demonstrated by moving a portion of their "sandbox" apps into production on public clouds.”

Main Components
Cloud Fabric
Web Roles
Worker Roles
Storage (Including SQL Azure)
Dev Fabric
App Fabric (Service Bus)

Windows Azure Roles

Windows Azure Roles
Web Role
A web role is used for web application programming in ASP.NET or PHP
Worker Role
A worker role is used for performing work on behalf of the web role.
In addition to .NET languages, Worker Roles may be written in Ruby or Java.
Worker Roles are used to improve scalability by increasing parallelism and asynchronicity
Often used for background work

Storage
Blobs – Large Data Store
Tables – Very Fast / Scalable Storage
Queues – Background work processing
Drives – NTFS Formatted Page Blobs
SQL Azure – Relational SQL in the Cloud
Core DB Functionality
Management
SQL Data Sync

Windows Azure Cloud Fabric(Fabric Controller)
Multiple virtual instances
Easy provision of applications
Detect failures
Spin up new instances to replace the failed ones
How many instances and what role they will play
Load balances and DNS
Elasticity of the service… scaling up/down number of instances

Windows Azure DevFabric(Cloud in a box)
Simulated “Cloud Experience” for Development
Routes cloud requests to local machine
Simulates data storage with local SQL server database
