Cloud computing is the most important paradigm shift in IT since the arrival of the Internet. Businesses around the world are
already beginning to make the transition to this new model of computing. Based on Microsofts internal research and through
working with industry analysts, Microsoft believes there are three key concepts driving the cloud computing trend: agility, focus
and economics.
Agility:
Cloud computing speeds up your ability to capitalize on opportunities and respond to changes in business demand. You can
deploy applications faster and more efficiently, and you can deliver solutions to your end users so they can work from nearlyanywhere, at any time, across devicesin ways that are both highly secure and manageable. Also, with cloud computing, all of
the IT infrastructure you need to operate quickly and efficiently is available at the flip of a switch. Therefore, the next time the
marketing department launches a campaign and doesn't tell anybody, your website is much less likely to go down. The
environment can quickly scale up and down to meet spikes in demandon terms you control.
Focus:
Cloud computing increases your ability to improve your business through better IT. It allows you to focus more on innovation
and less on infrastructure. Today, the typical IT department spends most of its time and money on maintenance and operations;
cloud computing cuts those costs down dramatically. As infrastructure is abstracted and resources are pooled, IT runs more like
a utility than a collection of complicated (and often fragile) software and hardware systems. When you can pay more attention
to ideas than to IT complexity, you add value to the business.
Economics:
Cloud computing can lower the cost of delivering IT and increase the utilization and efficiency of your data center and your IT
spend. Your delivery costs go down because now you can offer self-service of applications and resources, and you can meter the
usage of those resources in new and very precise ways. Utilization goes up because your infrastructure resources (storage,
compute, and network) are now pooled and abstracted. For example, when a self-service application is finished, the server and
storage resources it used will go right back into the pool. The environment is highly automated so your systems arent just
sitting aroundtheyre always at work.

While we at Microsoft are excited about the opportunities the cloud transformation will bring to companies around
the world, we recognize there are some real and perceived barriers to cloud adoption. We've seen research from
almost every analyst firm that shows similar results, with the top three cloud adoption obstacles being in the areas
of security, compliance, and compatibility.
Security and privacy are consistently the highest concerns from organizations worldwide. Before companies or
governments can trust their most critical data and relationships to this new model, they need to be convinced that it
meets or exceeds the standards theyve demanded from their existing IT environments.
We also hear more and more about regulatory concerns. As people think about adopting cloud technologies,
especially in certain geographies and in certain industries, regulatory and compliance has really risen to become a
major concern.
And then, of course, there's compatibility, which centers on concerns around particular features or gaps in the cloud
platform as an obstacle. Compatibility is about integrating new cloud technologies with heterogeneous data centers
and legacy applications that customers have so much invested in already.
At Microsoft, we deeply understand these customer concerns. Our product teams have been working for years
developing cloud computing technologies for real-world use, and our partners around the world are on the cutting
edge of implementing cloud solutions today, in ways that help customers navigate these obstacles.

The Microsoft vision is to have a continuous cloud service for every person and every business. At Microsoft, we want to optimize
every business to employ cloud technologies in their own way, at their own pace. To do this, were taking years of experience we
have at running applications at Internet scale, such as the Microsoft Bing search engine and Microsoft Hotmail web-based email
service, and combining that with our expertise in on-premises software. This gives us three cloud environments that run several
distinct categories of cloud environments:
Private cloudwhere businesses control their environment by using cloud-enabled on-premises products.
Public cloudwhere we manage the platform for you.
A mix of the twoor what we call the hybrid cloud.
Were anchoring the private cloud environment with the cloud-optimized Windows Server operating system with Hyper-V
technology, and the Microsoft System Center management solution, which manages everything from infrastructure to applications
to cloudsprivate and publicmaking it possible for you to manage the world of the hybrid cloud. By the same concept, Microsoft
public cloud offerings are anchored by the Windows Azure technology platform, which is a comprehensive IT platform across
compute, storage, network capabilities, and higher-level services like relational databases.

Microsoft believes all companies are going to have multiple cloud environments, including private and public. In this hybrid world,
you absolutely need a distributed computing fabric that brings things together on behalf of your IT professionals and your
developers writing applications. These commonalities of identity, virtualization, management, and application development are
what make the Microsoft platform unique.
Common identity.The majority of Microsofts enterprise customers use Microsoft Active Directory directory services to
manage their identity infrastructure. Through federation, you can also extend Active Directory to offer consistent and highly
secure single sign-on experiences for applications spanning across private and public clouds. For example, Coca Cola
Enterprises set up an Office 365 solution with single sign on for their employees and business partners using a combinationof on-premises and public cloud based components.
(http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/Case_Study_Detail.aspx?casestudyid=4000004584)
Common virtualization. Through capabilities such as the Windows Azure VM role, the Microsoft platform helps you deliver
application portability across private and public clouds.
Common management. Through System Center 2012, Microsoft offers full visibility and control for IT professionals across
private and public cloud environments. At the same time, Microsoft continues to empower your application owners with
self-service to make sure they can deliver agile app experiences to their businesses.
Common development. The developer experience from Microsoft on the Windows platform is unparalleled. The Microsoft
.NET Framework allows developers to use the same set of skills to rapidly build great applications for the client, phone,
browser, server, and the cloud. Manage the entire application lifecycle with Microsoft Visual Studio development system.
Use the most popular languages for development so you dont have to retrain your developer staff on a new paradigm.
This entire picture is one of the biggest advantages Microsoft offers its customers. To summarize, Microsoft private and public cloudtechnologies easily work with each other, creating synergies for a hybrid cloud environment. From first-party applications, to higher-
level services for public cloud, to providing better TCO on private cloud than our competitor such as VMware, Microsoft is
committed to delivering the best-in-class hybrid cloud solutions to its customers.

Whether it's public or private, Microsoft cloud services across both fall into a few categories:
Productivitywith Microsoft Lync Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, and Microsoft SharePoint Server on the private
cloud, and Microsoft Office 365.
Databasewith Microsoft SQL Server database software private cloud enabled, and Microsoft SQL Azure in the public
cloud space.
Business applicationswith Microsoft Dynamics CRM enabled on the private cloud, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online
available through our public cloud.
InfrastructureWindows Intune software and services provides desktop management and security running on the cloud,
and the Windows Azure platform.
It's not just the fact that we have this deep and broad set of services and platform capabilities across public and private clouds, it's
the commonalities between the two that provides the uniqueness of Microsofts business cloud strategy.

To answer the common question of what distinguishes cloud computing from a highly virtualizedenvironment,
there are a few key differentiatorspowerful attributes that make cloud computing unique:
Pooled resources. In a private cloud, your core resourcescompute, storage, and networkare transformed
into a pool. This enables dynamic provisioning of applications and services.
Self-service. Once resources are pooled, you can deliver applications and resources as services. Your
customers can request, configure, and manage IT services as they like through an interactive portal thatallows for automated provisioning.
Elastic. Because resources are pooled, they can quickly be expanded or contracted through automation or
workflow. This means your environment and resources can scale up or down almost instantly to meet
business requirements.
Usage-based. With resources as services, usage can be metered so that you and your customers pay for only
for the resources that actually get consumed.
The private cloud adds additional control and customization; private cloud is cloud computing, dedicated to you.

IT pros have several requirements for their data centers. As no data center is an island, you likely run and manage an
IT environment today that is deeply heterogeneous, with a wide range of operating systems, hypervisors, and
development tools in the mix. You want to gain the advantages of private cloud computing, but not if it means
walking away from your existing IT investments or adding new layers of complexity.
You need to:
Run and manage a heterogeneous environment.
Build a private cloud on multiple hypervisors, management systems, and development tools.
Gain private cloud capabilities without sacrificing existing IT investments.
Private cloud solutions from Microsoft give you comprehensive management of heterogeneous IT environments.

Case Study Summary: The City of Milwaukee
The City of Milwaukee wanted a better, less expensive way to manage a growing IT infrastructure. They tried
virtualizing servers on VMware, but they found VMware tough to manage and expensive to license. They adopted a
Microsoft virtualization solution that includes the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system with Service Pack 1
and Hyper-V virtualization technology, Microsoft System Center management products, and the Microsoft Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure Standard Suite. Now, the citys IT staff is 50 percent more productive, enabling it to handle agrowing infrastructure without additional staff. Licensing costs are less, and the servers operate better.
