Key Points:
Microsoft offers a consistent platform so that you can choose to run workloads where it makes sense for your business: in your datacenter, in a service provider’s datacenter, or in Microsoft Azure.
Single Slide Pitch
When you think about Microsoft and the Server & Tools division, Cloud OS is the strategy and vision for how we think about the management and the delivery of the total product portfolio we deliver for IT. When you think about Cloud OS, the term OS really comes from the strength that we had in PCs. The OS actually managed the device drivers on the PC and then provided an application platform to light up great apps like Office and other third-party apps. As we move forward in the world, the OS really extends beyond just the PC into all forms of devices and the Cloud OS becomes the backbone for that. So, in order to deliver on Cloud OS, we’re helping IT deliver on four key things.
The first is transforming the datacenter. There is so much complexity in how datacenters run today. IT is largely managing it as infrastructure and trying to consolidate servers and do virtualization to save money. Really what we need to do is transform the datacenter by bringing in automation. Actually helping customers think about not just managing servers, but managing the pooled resource of compute, networking and storage sitting in that datacenter as a shared delivery service for the business.
The second area is unlocking insights on any data. This is about helping IT bring together structured relational data inside the enterprise with unstructured non-relational data from the Web. Big Data from the Web, small data in terms of ERP and CRM and other apps inside the firewalls really means all data for us – and being able to bring these different data sets together to unlock insights for end users. We deliver the plumbing through SQL and our great capabilities and how we’re bringing new capabilities into SQL to connect that plumbing. But we also deliver it in partnership with the Microsoft Office Division and Excel and SharePoint, where we will democratize the frontend of BI, allowing people to uniquely combine data sets and get insights they’ve never been able to get before – doing so in a way that is easy. One of the biggest issues in data today is actually end-user training and adoption. Excel and SharePoint simply disintermediate that cost entirely.
The third area is empowering enterprise mobility. This is about all the different devices that are coming into the environment today and helping IT manage the needs of the end users in their environments with the governance and support around policies for devices, data and users as those devices come into the enterprise. Being able to do that in a consistent platform through one pane of glass is a very powerful value proposition and what we provide with Intune.
The fourth is enabling application innovation. Through the power of our .NET environment, our vision is to allow customers to code once and deploy to any device. We need modern capabilities that allow you to stand up apps quickly, fast failure, repeatable iterations vis-à-vis hybrid IT and cloud services, bringing in new types of form factors and new technologies like BI and social into the app itself.
So, our whole strategy around C+E is to deliver on these four pillars for IT. What makes us truly unique is that we will deliver this across a consistent platform, across development, management, identity, virtualization, the data platform itself. Our ambition with Cloud OS is to allow a customer in their private cloud on-premises to flex their environment out to a partner cloud or to Azure public cloud. So that this notion of the Cloud OS delivers consistency and the ability to manage the apps’ environment and the infrastructure of commercial IT in a way that they’re not just managing in their four walls, but they’re able to take advantage of other types of clouds in a seamless way. This capability will give IT agility that they’ve never had before.

With Microsoft, you can build the right platform to help you tackle the challenges of big data and mobility, while taking advantage of the boundless resources and scale of the cloud.
