This document provides an overview of the Windows Azure platform. It describes Windows Azure as a platform as a service (PaaS) that provides scalable compute and storage services in the cloud. It outlines the core services of Windows Azure including compute, storage, networking and tools for development, deployment and management. It also discusses key advantages like scalability, reliability, flexibility and the pay-as-you-go business model.

10. The Windows Azure Philosophy

11. Windows Azure is about ScaleDesigned from the ground up for true Internet scale

12. Offers global presence

13. Platform for next generation cloud aware systems

14. Ride the “network effect”

15. LinkedIn: 16 months for first million users, 11 days for most recent million

16. Facebook: 5 years to hit 250m users, 8 months to double

17. Scale up and scale downwww.flickr.com/photos/ScroffTheBad

18. Operational Excellence & Elasticity“Growing Fast” “Predictable Bursting”Need high reliability

19. LOB, software as a service

20. Need massive scale

21. Social networking, web 2.0

22. Have variable load / unpredictable lifetime

23. Ticketing, marketing

24. Parallel processing

25. Financial applications

26. Don’t fit in well with a company’s data center

27. Avoid IT dept, support joint ventures

28. Benefit from external storage

29. Archive “On and Off” “Unpredictable Bursting”Average UsageComputeComputeComputeComputeAverage Usage AverageUsageAverage Usage Time Time Time Time

30. Helps your Systems ScaleMost architecture is hidden deep inside code

31. WindowsAzure encourages you to define your application into constituent parts

32. Windows Azure supports cloud enabled applications

33. Windows Azure can scale the parts of your application as appropriatewww.flickr.com/photos/39818355@N00/2128626176

34. Flexible Architecture Systems evolve over time

35. Cloud is not an “all or nothing” proposition

36. Hybrid model well supported

37. Windows Azure makes it easier to extend to the cloudwww.flickr.com/photos/tomkpunkt/3695066577

38. Opening up the CloudAllow developers to apply their existing skills to the cloud

39. Support for .NET, Ruby, PHP, Java

40. Interoperability with any platform, tools or technology www.flickr.com/photos/h19/2306213399/in/set-72157594224557858

41. Flexible Business ModelNo up front hardware purchase

42. “Pay as you go” model

43. Ideal in current economical climate www.flickr.com/photos/cleebster/2508660124
