5 Agenda What is the Cloud? Definitions, acronyms, tenets benefits Microsoft Azure 101 CA Plex r7.0 and the Azure Cloud SQL Support WCF Runtime Support One More Thing! Summary Q & A 5 September 23-25, 2009 Copyright 2009 CA. All rights reserved.

6 What is the Cloud?

7 Larry s Definition Take 1 The cloud is water vapor. All it is, is a computer attached to a network. Larry Ellison, September 2009

8 A Definition a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) Source: NIST (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology)

9 Five Essential Characteristics Essential Characteristic Broad Network Access: Available over network through standard mechanisms On-Demand Self-Service: Consumer unilaterally, automatically provisions Rapid Elasticity: Quickly provision and scale in/out Resource Pooling: Physical and virtual resources dynamically assigned/reassigned per customer demand Measured as a Service: Automatically control and optimize resource by metering. Usage controlled and monitored providing transparency to provider and consumer. Benefit(s) Consume, deliver anywhere Agility Efficient use of labor Align to operational demand Efficient use of assets Pay for use (operational vs. capital expenditure) Introspection on demand usage Source: NIST (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology)

10 Three Cloud Models Software as a Service (SaaS) The capability provided to the consumer to use the providers applications running in a cloud (e.g. SalesForce.com CRM applications) Platform as a Service (PaaS) The capability provided to a consumer to deploy into a providers cloudinfrastructure their own developed applications created using programming languages and tools supported by the provider (e.g. MS Azure) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) The capability provided to the consumer to provision computing resources where they can deploy arbitrary software, for example software and applications (e.g. Amazon EC2) Source: NIST (U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology)

11 The Benefits Some Examples Intuit Approx. 50% of $3 billion in revenue now from SaaS delivery model Ensure a positive end user online experience using CA Service Assurance software CCH Use CA Plex to develop their Sales Tax Office application hosted on MS Azure Customer choice deploy in-house or hosted Many might choose hosted for POC, then stay for scalability CA Technologies Use CA Service Catalog to deliver IaaS Reduced 19 lab locations ($2.4M), labor costs (by $6.5M), carbon emissions (450 metric tons) Increased server utilization (by 50%), server to admin ratio (by 400%) Many more case studies on CA Cloud Luminaries Micro-site (

12 Larry s Definition Take 2 Cloud computing is not only the future of computing, but the present and entire past of computing. Larry Ellison, April 2010

13 Microsoft Azure

14 What is Windows Azure? An Operating System for the Cloud Designed to reduce the complexity of Internet scale applications Designed to be scalable and available Runs only in Microsoft Datacenters

15 Microsoft Azure Ecosystem

16 To and From the Cloud CA Plex

17 The Windows Azure Core Compute Storage Management Compute Virtualized CPU environment based on Windows Server Storage Durable, available and flexible storage Management Automated, model-driven management of service lifecycle

18 Windows Azure Services Web Role: Customized for web development (ASP.NET) Worker Role: For backend service development (WCF) VM Role: For neither of the above (Azure IaaS support)

19 SQL Azure Symmetric Programming Model Data Hub Aggregation Familiar SQL Server Relational Model Use Existing APIs and Tools Built for the Cloud = Availability and Scale Connect using standard connection strings

20 CA Plex r7.0 and the Azure Cloud

21 How do we get these components into the Cloud?? Current CA Plex.NET Runtime Architecture config IBM i Server Java App Server SQL Server Database

22 How do we get those components into the Cloud?? Part 1 The Backend Server connections are just configured network connections (TCP/IP) Backend Database: SQL Azure is just another flavor of SQL Server Build your ODBC schemas using a SQL Azure ODBC DSN Use SQL Azure connection string in UDL file at runtime Although OLE.DB not yet officially supported by SQL Azure it works All the usual cloud benefits but not much use if the server application doesn t scale

23 How do we get those components into the Cloud?? Part 2 Plex.NET Server Runtime config IBM i Server Java App Server SQL Server Database

24 How do we get those components into the Cloud?? Part 2 Plex.NET Server Runtime New.NET Runtime WCF Proxy WCF host takes care of scaling, security Use any protocol TCP/IP Http Named Pipes Deploy in any host Windows Service IIS 7.0 and Windows Azure Worker Role!

25 How do we get those components into the Cloud?? Part 2 Plex.NET Server Runtime config config SQL Azure SQL Azure

26 One More Thing Web Service Import Essential Characteristic #1: Broad Network Access Web Service Import Import Web and WCF Services as Plex design objects Call in native AD code Treated as a new call type in.net runtime

27 Web Service Import Demo

28 Summary The Cloud looks like it s here to stay (even though the name may not) Windows Azure is Microsoft s entry in the Cloud SQL Azure and Azure Worker Roles are the key technologies from a CA Plex.NET Runtime perspective Existing technologies in CA Plex r6.1 can already help you:.net Runtime Azure SQL Support just works WCF Service Connectors can be deployed in Worker Role hosts New features in CA Plex r7.0 to help you get there: Plex.NET Runtime WCF Proxy Web Service Import Note that Azure is NOT an officially supported platform yet - hope to add Windows Azure to the Support Compatibility Matrix (Timeline T.B.D)
