22. CONTROL
COST-EFFICIENCY
• Full h/w control – size/scale
• Roll-your-own HA/DR/scale
SharePoint (On-premises)
• SharePoint
• 100% of API surface area
• Easy migration of existing apps
• Roll-your-own HA/DR/scale
SharePoint (IaaS)
• Auto HA, Fault-Tolerance
• Friction-free scale
• Self-provisioning, mgmt. @ scale

24. easy to create and manage

25. Quickly get new SharePoint
developers on your projects up
and running with little
downtime.
Quickly get new system test
environments provisioned.
Tear down developer machines
when vendors leave the project.
Reduced capital expenditures as
no laptops need to be issued to
new developers.
Tear down system test
environments when not in use
or a particular release has
finished.
Integrate the customer’s
vendors easily. The customer
doesn’t have to add the vendor
to the corporate domain.

26. MSDN products can be used
on Virtual Machines
Single monetary credit (e.g.
VPN gateway fee, no
overspending)
Focuses on Dev/Test Usage
