Cloud computing is the transformation of computer hardware, software, and networks into resources that are accessed over the Internet. Microsoft Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that allows users to build, deploy, and manage applications across Microsoft's global network of datacenters. Azure provides benefits like reduced costs, flexibility, mobility, ease of implementation, agility, automation, and improved end user productivity through an efficient, self-service, usage-based, and scalable infrastructure. Azure's security features include identity and access management, network security, data protection, data privacy, threat defense, and compliance with programs and certifications.
2. What is Cloud Computing ???
?
Cloud Computing is the transformation
of computer HARDWARE,
SOFTWARE and NETWORKS into a
place somewhere in the internet.
Still a problem ? O_o
3. Your Office The ‘Cloud’
Servers
Applications
Databases
Platforms
Internet
4. Aha! So can I control all the things
via internet??
7. Microsoft Azure
Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform
that enables you to quickly build, deploy, and
manage applications across a global network of
Microsoft-managed datacenters.
You can build applications using any
language, tool, or framework. And you can integrate
your public cloud applications with your existing
IT environment.

So simple..No maintenance fee.. And many more advantages.. Just keep it for a while and we will discuss the other things
Ok hope that you got thething
Yeah!! Surely…
The machne you requesting is the same as your machine had in your premises…
If you like.. Run linux on that…
No prob
You install what ever you like..
You work what ever the way you like
You get the output wahat ever the way ypu wish..
They will get the responsibility of your machne…
More things later
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)IaaS helps you to take care of some of the components, starting from networking to provisioning the OS. But you are responsible for the middleware, runtime, data, and application. Sometimes IaaS vendors will just provide the OS but will not manage updates or patches for you. You basically just rent the virtual machine (VM) with the preferred OS installed. They won’t care what you do with the VM.Example of IaaS market players: Amazon Web Service, Rackspace, and VMware vCloud.
PaaS (Platform as a Service)Paas is one level up from IaaS, where cloud providers not only take care of the components that IaaS does; but also manage the platform-level components like middleware and runtime. Middleware such as applications / web server (IIS, JBoss, Tomcat, etc.) and runtime (.NET Framework, Java runtime) will be pre-installed. As a customer, you just need to focus on managing application and data.Example of PaaS market player: Google AppEngine, Windows Azure Platform, and force.com.
SaaS (Software as a Service)SaaS is probably the most common one as we may have been using it, unaware that they are actually cloud services. SaaS takes care of all the stacks from networking to application level. You don’t even manage the application and data storage. All you need to do is to use the system.Example of SaaS market player: GMail, Office 365, and Google Docs.
This slide shows how the various options compare, then explicitly illustrates where the Windows Azure platform fits in. It’s meant to make clear in the audience’s mind the exact place in this broad area that we’re about to dig into more deeply.
Before we can understand the Microsoft cloud computing strategy, we must understand how the industry sees the landscape.
Traditionally all information technology was managed by customers on their own premises. This model provides the customer with a high degree of control, but at a high cost of capital expenditure and maintenance.
Another model is known as “infrastructure as a service ,” or IaaS, and is defined by hardware, either physical or virtual. In this model, a provider uses services in the cloud to offer the end user hardware for computing or storage needs. The end user maintains control of the operating system and applications on the hardware.
The second model is “platform as a service,” or PaaS, and is used to facilitate the development, testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of applications. In this model, the provider maintains and administers the underlying infrastructure for the end user.
The third model is “software as a service,” or SaaS. SaaS supplies finished services and applications over the Internet to customers who pay on a per-use basis. This is the most common form of cloud computing delivered today.
Windows Azure Platform is a Paas. Think of Windows Azure and the Platform as the operating system of the cloud. You have Windows Client which is your client PC Operating System, Windows Server which is your Operating system for your data centers and Windows Azure is your operating system for the cloud. With Windows Azure Platform, however, Microsoft manages and maintains the platform, freeing up your IT resources to focus on business objectives. Also, because Windows Azure Platform provides dynamic capacity that can scale up or down to meet your changing needs, you achieve better resources utilization and lower costs.
Mobility – if your company is in colombo & if for an unavoidable reason you have to migrate to another place… soo if your servers are on premises.. You have to move all the things here and there, again network all the things… make physical space
Speaker Notes:
The benefit of using the same file format is that it’s really easy open file format is that it’s really easy …
The benefit is that since we’re using an open file format, you have the ability to take a VM from your own data center and upload it to Windows Azure
You don’t have to run an import / export process. You simply upload it and it works
There’s no conversion tools or agent you have to install in the VM, it just works.
[Transit to next slide]
Speaker Notes:
You can also take, for example, either the Windows or Linux VMs that we created in Windows Azure and we make it really easy for you to download the VHD locally and you can then boot it up on a local server in whatever environment that you want.
Again you don’t have to export it or convert it, just click and download it.
It’s not a one way street
[Transit to next slide]
Speaker Notes:
The other thing this offers is that it not only allows you to run in Windows Azure as a data center but it also allows you to run in other service providers as well.
You can take VMs from any of these locations and move them into another data center
[Transit to next slide]
Speaker Notes:
The end result is that you have a lot of flexibility, a lot of portability, and ensures that you have no lock-in
Speaker Notes:
The other neat thing that we’re doing with Windows Azure now is making it possible for you to mount durable drives to your virtual machine.
We’re trying to do it in way that it is very reliable, consistent, and delivers a high performance.
One of the things that’s different about how we enabled it is that when you mount a drive either in the portal or in the command line we are backing the disk with the Windows Azure Storage system that we’re running in the cloud today
There are a couple nice characteristics about the storage system.
Replication
One is that we triple replicate the content within the data center.
If a disk ever goes bad that you data is on then we have two other copies of the data that we can work with and we do not have any interruption of service
We can then spin up a new replica once we detect a disk is bad
From your VMs perspective you never know that an issue actually occurred
[Transit to next slide]
So you get much more reliability and an always on experience even when hardware fails
Notes:
Mentioned that Windows Azure Virtual Machines are backed by a durable store. Let’s spend a few minutes talking about how this works.
Speaker Notes:
Another thing that is nice about the Windows Azure Storage solution is that we have support for Continuous storage geo-replication
What this means is that whenever you save something in the storage system, in the background we can automatically replicate the data to another datacenter.
We guarantee that these data centers are several hundred miles apart so that in the case of a natural disaster or a complete data center failure you can be ensured that a copy of your data exists somewhere else.
You don’t have to set anything up to enable it. It’s automatically enabled by default.
You can turn it off if there are policy reasons why you wouldn’t want it enabled.
The end result is that you can deliver more robust solutions with even greater integrity
