2 Microsoft Cloud OS Vision Public Cloud Azure Virtual Machines Windows Azure Pack 1 Consistent Platform Windows Azure Pack Private Cloud Service Providers DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT DATA IDENTITY VIRTUALIZATION

3 Microsoft Workloads Run Best on Hyper-V Windows Azure runs on the same Windows Server and Hyper-V platform that we provide to our customers. The exact same. Windows Server and System Center bring our learnings and best practices from operating global scale datacenter networks to you The most tested platform Microsoft hosts more than 1,000,000 servers in our datacenters On an average day, the Server division (alone) creates, then tests over 25,000 virtual machines; over 500,000 a month on Azure + 15,000 on Hyper-V in our test datacenters (~40k VMs a day!) Integration and Partnership in Windows Server 2012 Azure users are consuming more compute capacity than the entire world used in In December 2011, Azure s cloud storage held 4 trillion objects. In mid 2013 its now 10 trillion objects. Xbox Live currently runs on 15,000 servers, but it will move to 300,000 servers in late 2013 for the Xbox One launch. Windows Azure Active Directory 400 billion identity authentications 50% of the Fortune500 use Windows Azure customers are added to Windows Azure per day Activate your MSDN subscription and enjoy up to $150 in credits on Windows Azure with reduced Windows Server rates and use your MSDN software such as SQL Server for no additional fee. for FREE online training on Windows Server, System Center, Cloud, VMware skills transfer and lots more Source: BytheNumbers
