The document summarizes the benefits of cloud computing for enterprises. It notes that cloud computing allows companies to pay for access to IT resources as needed rather than owning physical infrastructure, which optimizes costs. It also allows companies to quickly scale their infrastructure at peak times without over-provisioning for average usage. The document then outlines different types of cloud models and describes Microsoft's cloud offerings, including the Windows Azure platform and categories of cloud-based services provided by Microsoft.

Editor's Notes
- Many of the challenges with building applications today have very little to do with development tools, programming languages, or frameworks. Rather, many of the challenges that organizations face are related to the infrastructure required to deploy, run, and manage applications. Quickly summarize only 1 of the following:Startups - For example, imagine you were a startup building the next social networking site or online game You have to worry about numerous issues that are unrelated to the functionality of the application.[Capacity]You have to think about the capacity requirements for the application.Will it be used by a few thousand users or hundreds of thousands or millions?How do users translate to bandwidth, storage, and server requirements?Will the usage be consistent during all times of the year? Will it be consistent over the lifetime of the application?Can you handle spikes in demand if there were sudden demands for the app? (Digg Effect)Ultimately, most organizations end up paying for more capacity then they need.[Deployment, operations, and versioning]Then you have to worry about deploying and operating your applicationHow do you deploy your application over multiple servers?How do you role out updates to the app without taking it offline?How do you manage patches? Enterprise - For established organizations, some of these decisions and problems may have already been addressed through a shared data center or an established staff and processes. However, in enterprise organizations we often find that apps are silos of their own servers. Established organizations also still have to spend a significant amount of capital and operations funding. IT resources are applied to maintaining applications rather than delivering new value and functionality. ISV - Finally, if you’re an ISV who builds applications for use by other businesses you have to worry about a number of additional problems. You have to think about your customer’s capacity, which gets factored into the cost of ownership. Often, your sales opportunities are limited by your customer’s ability to deploy new applications.Your customers often have existing assets such as order fulfillment systems, ERP systems, multi-terabyte databases, etc. that are running on-premise. You must be able to easily integrate with these assets.
- To build an application or solution in a legacy world, you have to think about network, OS, storage, and scale. But they have little to do with what you really want to build, an application.But what if there were a different way.
- Build and deploy software quickly and easily by capitalizing on the same personnel, development tools investments, and knowledge that already power your IT organization. Use the services platform’s infrastructure to power prototyping environments for experimentation, and then launch to full-scale production as soon as your business needs it. Imagine connecting existing applications with an online database that can be shared with partners, or a service bus that enables secure B2B connectivity across firewalls.Pay as you grow and reduce costs. Pay for the services you use and reduce the capital costs associated with purchasing hardware and infrastructure. Reduce operational costs by running applications on the services platform and decrease the need for maintaining on-premises infrastructure. Increase business efficiency and agility by dynamically adding and subtracting capacity in real time. Envision building an e-commerce Web site that you can scale at the click of a mouse to meet seasonal demands or spikes in traffic based on sales and promotions. Develop a new portfolio of expertise. In these early stages of software development for the cloud, businesses will be seeking the best advice on what this means for their current and future technology investments. Stay ahead of the curve and help your customers understand what cloud computing and development means to their business today and how they can pivot and extend their investments to maximize its value tomorrow. Don’t slow down. Start projects without the hurdles of lengthy training or waiting for new infrastructure to be delivered and installed. With a broad set of services already running on Microsoft global data centers, the services platform is ready to start prototyping and testing solutions.
