Editor's Notes
- Key Point: Azure continues to grow. More customers are making is a part of their solutions, either through hybrid or pure-cloud. >85% F500 customers on MS Cloud >3,400 apps in Azure Marketplace 30 major certifications and attestations — more than any other major public cloud provider 13B authentications supported every week by Azure cloud services 1T messages a month are processed using Event Hub >60B ingress events per day worldwide in Even Hub More than 70T storage objects in Azure More than 9M transactions per second processed by Azure Storage (nearly 3x growth YoY) 1.5M SQL DBs under management in Azure / Customer usage has increased 7x YoY 2.5B logins per week process to Azure SQL DB External Traffic / web site hits (e.g. customer traffic only)- 83.46 billion hits/month Total Sites/Apps (customer sites only) – 664k 3.4M Developers registered with Visual Studio Online
- Key Point: Azure Footprint continues to grow to support the customer growth. Notice that we have 3 new regions in India that came online this week. Great for multi-national setups.
- Key Point: To support connectivity and performance networking infrastructure continues to grow as well. Kind of a fun view. 1.4 million miles can go 56x times around the globe
- Key Point: Azure is growing! We keep saying it. What does this slide show us: Fast innovation Microsoft commitment to improving the platform The need to stay current for partners. Let’s dive very quickly into a few of the newest features that we feel have strong impact to the partner business.
- How Azure builds out clusters, what a Cluster Contains. How the Racks are contained. Racks for compute/storage. Aggregate routes, PDU power, top of rack switches, highly available. Datacenter’s divided into clusters. Rack provides fault isolation.
- All committed, each VM dedicated resources CPU, tied to PDU and Fabric controller. All VM’s infrastructure or PAAS leveraging same VM’s under the covers.
- Azure is DCHP based, how can I make a IP reservation on VIP, VM, public address space internal address space what are scale limits. How to use the IP addresses.
- True network mesh within VNET Azure. Multiple on premises and MULTIPLE Azure resources. Vnet to Vnet leverage cross site communications.
- Ipsec or site to site is Ipsec over VPN does. Express route ability to do networking on their network, MPLS. Allows you to extend your network to Azure. Access the services over private network.
- Ipsec gateway gives ability to do point to site and site to site. Express route gives ability for private connectivity cannot have cross region Site to Site with Express route, understand limitations.
- PAAS vs IAAS, persistant need to use IAAS. PAAS more Microsoft does the work vm is supported by Microsoft.
- Both look the same. Offer the same service, how different. Key differences. On premises LDAP source storing objects for network, standard LDAP queries. Cloud online versions Graph API. Azure AD is not LDAP source, cant do regular queries using LDP. Use a web service to do query. On core difference cant store computer objects, works great for user objects. ODATA is standard for graph api.
- Used to sync with AD on premise, Identity bridge DirSync, AAD Sync, FIM synchronization technologies. FIM can do customization. Sync to the cloud to Azure Active directory can tie out to SAAS, federate to
- AAD sync at the core, attributes sync to the cloud, watch for changes and synchronize changes to the cloud.
- Announced this week at AzureCon – lots more on there about this, but this will help you better secure your cloud environments.
- Key Point – New Azure AD feature – B2C – in preview now. Lights up customer ID/signup/signin scenarios via Azure AD. Devs won’t have to write custom signup engines. Connects with Social ID providers and is customizable to the look and feel of each orgs app/site.
- It gives you the ability to take any on-premises application that depends on Windows Server Active Directory and run it in Azure Infrastructure Services without having to worry about running, maintaining or patching Active Directory Domain Controller VMs. This means our customers have a ton of new options and flexibility as they plan and deploy their enterprise IT resources across on-premises and the cloud. And maybe most exciting, it gives cloud forward companies the opportunity to go "cloud only" while still getting all the benefits of Azure AD and Windows Server AD.
- Key Point: VMs continue to be a huge workload in Azure today, and we keep adding more options to meet the needs. 1. New DV2 Series 2. Notice the Premium Storage has increased in performance. It can now be paired with the G Series for 80,000 IOPS and up to 32 TB per VM. Wil support high transaction workloads like SharePoint, Exchange, and Dynamics. 2. New N Series – next slide to learn more.
- Mention and move to next slide
- Why OMS – see next slide (hidden) for more details. Simple - Time to Value Easy to Integrate Hybrid and Open Extend System Center

- Screen shot of OMS dashboard. Emphasize that this is fully customizable, clicking on tiles will give full detail. Everything can be saved and custom queries can be used.
- Call out the Win10 backup options as well. Bring your own key – emphasize the vault!! Azure backup is super-easy to deploy and begin using. It works with just an agent on a Windows Server that sends data to Azure. All data is secured and encrypted. ONLY THE CUSTOMER HAS THE KEY. W/O the key there is no access to the data. Retention policies currently extend to 99 years if needed. Data can be restored to the original server or others (with the key of course) if needed. By integrating Windows Server Backup with Microsoft Azure Backup, customers can protect their important data off-site, by harnessing Microsoft Azure. Azure Backup helps you protect important server data off-site with automated backup to Azure. Reliable offsite data protection Backups are encrypted before transmission and stored encrypted in Azure. These backups are off-site, safely away from your datacenter, protected by reliable Azure storage, reducing the need to secure and protect on-site backup media. A simple and integrated solution Manage cloud backups from the familiar backup tools in Windows Server, Windows Server Essentials, or System Center Data Protection Manager. These tools provide similar experiences configuring, monitoring, and recovering backups whether to local disk or Azure storage. Or you can use the agent software itself. After data is backed up to the cloud, authorized users can easily recover backups to any server. Efficient and flexible backup and recovery With incremental backups, only changes to files are transferred to the cloud. This helps ensure efficient use of storage and reduced bandwidth consumption, while enabling point-in-time recovery of multiple versions of the data. Configurable data retention policies, data compression, and data transfer throttling offer added flexibility and help boost efficiency.
- Let’s see a bit more about Azure Backup.
- ASR is something we’ve talked about in the past. It enables servers to use Azure as their recovery point. Value from not maintaining a second site. Don’t pay VM Compute charges in Azure until you actually fail over. Big news is VMWare and Physical servers can also be backed up to Azure.
- On-Premises Process Server – This receives replication data from the Mobility Service (in-guest agent) using disk based cache. It is used to compress and encrypt data on-premises before sending it over internet/VPN/Express Route to the Master Target server in Azure, On-Premises Mobility Service – This can be pushed out automatically by the Process Server or performed manually. Essentially it is an IO splitter that takes a write to disk, holds it in memory and sends it across to the Process Server, Azure Configuration Server – This is the brains, it co-ordinates communication between all components both on-premises and in Azure. Each Configuration Server can support up to 100 source virtual machines, Azure Master Target – Receives incoming replication traffic from the on-premises Process Server. Each protected VM is added as a VHD using ‘blob’ storage., Replication – Azure Site Recovery uses streaming ‘a synch’ replication. It’s worth noting that maximum throughput is 80Mbps when using Site to Site VPN or any form of normal internet connection.
- •Currently you are unable to perform test failovers. The work round is to create ‘test VM’s’ failover to Azure and then destroy them. •You are unable to seed data into or out of Azure Site Recovery. Thought needs to be how long it will take to protect virtual machines and failback to on-premises •Protected VM’s are limited to those supported in Azure •Protected VM’s can only migrate within their series type e.g. A1 to A4, but they cannot move into D series.
- Build SaaS applications that support massive scale Developers building software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications can use Azure SQL Database to provide flexibility to support both explosive growth and profitable business models. For workloads with unpredictable database resource consumption, the elastic database model gives you the ability to pool resources to use among a group of databases. Easily manage massive numbers of databases Elastic database tools simplify building and managing applications that scale across lots of databases, so building applications against a single database or thousands of databases is just as easy using familiar T-SQL and ADO.NET programming models. You can also run centralized query operations like reporting and data extractions spanning many databases, returning a single unified result set. Gain 25% more Premium performance , high-throughput applications can take advantage of the latest version which delivers 25% more Premium database power. Additionally, internal tests over 600 million rows of data show up to 100x query performance improvements when applying the in-memory columnstore technology. SQL Database service tiers enable applications to easily scale up or down for predictable performance on each database. Streamline business continuity for your critical applications Enjoy more application continuity and protection against catastrophic events with built-in continuity options across service tiers, now with as much as 360x lower disaster recovery objectives. Active geo-replication allows you to create up to 4 readable secondaries in any Azure region and control when and where to failover Enjoy near-zero maintenance through a self-managed service Remove virtually all infrastructure maintenance with SQL Database, which provides automatic software patching as part of the service. Meanwhile, built-in system replicas using the quorum writes technique help deliver inherent data protection, database uptime, and system stability, which means fewer hassles for developers and architects. System replicas are automatically moved to new computers, which are provisioned on the fly as old ones fail. Enable security and compliance-related tasks Also, SQL Database is verified by key cloud auditors as part of the scope of key Azure compliance certifications and approvals such as HIPAA BAA, ISO/IEC 27001:2005, FedRAMP, and E.U. Model Clauses.
- Transform vs. Perform – this is transformational stuff Microsoft’s view At Microsoft, we believe that the Internet of Things doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It starts with your things—the things that matter most to your business, the things that make your business thrive We believe in building on the infrastructure you already have—connect the devices you already own, enhance your existing investments, tap into the data that already exists, and understand the data. IoT isn’t about replacing technologies and systems, but rather leveraging what you have, adding on to current systems, using existing things in new ways, and innovating and optimizing so that everything works better together to generate greater results Organizations across nearly every industry can benefit from IoT: If you’re a retailer, think about how smarter POS terminals can increase cross-selling and up-selling If you’re in healthcare, think about how connecting patient monitors, tablets, signage, and other equipment can streamline patient care For MSPs, think about how sensors on the factory floor can “talk” to plant floor monitors to improve production efficiency and reduce down time If you’re a city leader, IoT is going to help revolutionize city infrastructures around the world in the coming years. Imagine water systems, fire and police stations, medical centers, traffic and power lines – all with sensors embedded, and streaming data to deliver real-time insight on populations and infrastructure
