- 26. Hybrid/PrivateCommon wisdom: most enterprises will use hybrid approach to cloud, either while migrating or forever.Azure ConnectVPN connection allows on-premise assets and cloud assets to co-mingleAmazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)A private, isolated section of AWS cloudAllows VPN connection to on-premise assetsEC2 dedicated instances: physically isolated servers in a VPCAzure Appliance:Allows Azure hardware and OS to run physically on-premiseAnnounced almost 1 year ago; details still to come
- 27. EcosystemsAmazon’s is huge: I count 409 partners listed at: http://aws.amazon.com/solutions/solution-providersMicrosoft’s is growing. I count 81at the Windows Azure Marketplace:http://windowsazure.pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/applications/search?q=azure
- 28. Momentum (in Redmond)Azure is extremely complete and capabale, relative to the marketAWS may be startup-friendly but MS is enterprise-friendlyThe smartest people at Microsoft are working on the cloud and morale is highIt’s the bright spot in RedmondBut it’s not lucrative…yet.The opportunity for you

- 31. Should You Move?What Should You Take?Everyone should do some sandbox workPartner Network, MSDN and free offers make this feasibleManaged partners should pursue proactivelyBuild a practice with a small, elite crewBrownie points with MS and better chance of leadsCloud candidates:Managed hosting engagementDepartmental appMobile app, for any platformAnything that is straight ASP.NET + SQL Server and may need to scale.
- 32. When?If your clients are ready, go!If not, get ready anywaySell the hybridsAs with any new technology, sometimes you need to make it your own decisionHow you will transform:You get Microsoft’s SLAYou now provide turnkey hardware + infrastructure
- 33. Business ModelsMoving from solutions to productsMoving from consulting firm to ISVMoving from hourly revenue to periodic feesIt isn’t about on-prem vs. offIt’s about needing less infrastructure expertise and sysadmin talent (but you still need some)It’s about automated provsisioningIt’s about bigger customers
