IT’s losing battle against Cloud adoption

What is Cloud Computing ?

Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

Point of attention

SP characteristics

First choice : on-Premises• Historical choice• With a lot of

options• Legacy ?!

Since 2001

Second Choice : Office 365• The SaaS solution• Historically with some

limitations• Incremental improvements• Now the first choice

More to come :• Office graph• Oslo• …

Office 365 what is it?

Rich feature set is always up to date. Includes a Windows Azure Active Directory tenant Directory integration includes synchronizing account

names and passwords between the on-premises AD environment and the Windows Azure AD tenant.

Client communication over the Internet through encrypted and authenticated access (port 443).

A lot of storage for SharePoint

Now the de facto first choice !

TCO Calculator SaaS vs. On Premises

• The purpose of this calculator is to let you quickly compare the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution to the TCO of an on-premise solution.

• The values this calculator provides are approximations, and can in no way obviate the need for a careful cost/benefit analysis.

Amazon EC2

AWS distinguish itself (cf. Overview of Amazon Web Services ) as • Flexible• Cost-effective• Scalable and Elastic : including via simple API calls• Secure• Experienced : more than 15 years of experience

I would add:• Reliable with a 99.95% guarantied SLA (Service Level Agreement)

• Inexpensive :– On-Demand Instances– Reserved Instances– Spot Instances

• A great number of AMI (Amazon Machine Images) • Import and Export VMs are available• Microsoft’s License Mobility through Software Assurance program • A marketplace for preconfigured VM

Here are the building blocks

SharePoint workloads candidates for the Cloud

NB : it’s only it is a relative rating of the solutions with respect to each other.

Yammer is a killer app to go to Office 365 cloud. SP1 hybrid options are great too for on-prem version.

Big amount of storage are great motivation to go to O365

The localization of data can still be an issue if they are sensitive

OneDrive new storage amount + SP1 integration make it a good candidate for Cloud

Power BI for Office 365 is one of the last additions to the platform

Internet site is the first and greatest target for VM on Windows Microsoft Azure

SharePoint environments candidate for the Cloud

It should be understood that O365 can’t be used to measure performance of an on-premises platform

IaaS offering is very good candidate to implement Disaster Recovery scenarios at low price. And also Development environment which can be set up very quickly.

Office 365 can only by used as a development platform for apps.

NB : it’s only it is a relative rating of the solutions with respect to each other.

Hybrid solutions

Some Use cases…• Mainly Cloud– Office 365 alone– Yammer alone– PowerBI– Public facing SP Internet

Site on Azure IaaS– SP Dev Env. on Azure

IaaS

• Hybrid– Office 365 and Yammer– New SP1 options with

Yammer and One Drive– « traditional » hybrid for

Search, BCS and Duet– DR Farm in Azure

Redirect users to O365for their personal storage

On-premises Farm + DR Farm in AzureCold standby• The farm is fully built, but the VMs are stopped

(you’re only paying when they’re running!). • Maintaining the environment includes starting the

VMs from time-to-time, patch, update, and verify the environment.

• Start the full environment in the event of a disaster.

Warm standby• Includes a small farm that is provisioned and

running. • The farm can immediately serve a few thousand

users in the event of failover. • Scale out the farm quickly to serve the full user

base.

Hot standby• A fully-sized farm is provisioned and

running on standby.
