4. Cloud Computing Proliferation
The industry is going through a significant transformation across the entire
stack:
• Datacenter and Hardware Model: Significant advances and
standardization in the Datacenter and associated IT
equipment/hardware.
• Application Model: Cloud computing provides the ability to quickly
deliver highly-available, secure and infinitely geo-scalable applications
and services while offering a rich end-user experience from anywhere
and any device.
• Operational Model: Cloud services have inherent resilience to hardware
or software failures due to redundant/self-healing service models
combined with deep integration between ops & development/test
providing a lights out experience.

5. • Data Center Commodity:
• Companies including Microsoft created large clouds:
• Microsoft Data Centers
• Highly Reliable and Available
• Fully automated, zero manual impact
• Spread Geographically across the world
• 1.8 Billion Hotmail Accounts
• Hosted BPOS & Azure environment
• Internal IT Environment
• Cost
• CIO’S Top Challenges:
• 40% CIOs plan to cut IT budgets
• 72% CIOs have cut or plan to cut discretionary IT projects
• 59% of surveyed CIOs view datacenter efficiency as “must do”
projects

14. • Challenge people to look at the cloud more broadly
• Multidimensional transformation
• Some companies provide some interesting components
• Microsoft is uniquely delivering on a wide range of cloud
capabilities that bringing more value to customers.
• Five dimensions that define the way people use and realize value in the
cloud:
• The cloud creates opportunities and responsibilities
• The cloud learns and helps you learn, decide and take action
• The cloud enhances your social and professional interactions
• The cloud wants smarter devices
• The cloud drives server advances that drive the cloud
This view fuels Microsoft’s investments across the entire company,
from datacenters to cloud platform technologies to cloud-based
development tools and applications.

16. • Standardization: Homogeneous infrastructures with vertical
integration across server, network, storage and OS.
• Service Focused: It’s all about delivering the application or service that
the business demands and not the component services (e.g.
infrastructure).
• Automation: Significant levels of automation, based on cloud
principled philosophies like resiliency, scalability and elasticity.
• “Lights out” Operations: Scale through the app design and
abstraction from infrastructure.
• Utilization based chargeback
