SharePoint Cloud Story

Scale up/down as demand grows/shrinks It must be secure and supported Simply consume the service Easily manage costs, pay for what I use Running latest versions Backups aren’t my problem 99.9% uptime It just works Single Sign on Easy to understand SLAs And many more…

Cloud Goals

SharePoint is now “Cloud” ready Scale up/out/down – elasticity 99.9% uptime is achievable Office365 Vs. Azure Vs. AWS Vs. Private cloud

SaaS Vs. IaaS SharePoint roles/tiers suit cloud deployments

Patching is still fun Plan -> Test -> Deploy -> Stabilise -> Go Live..Faster

SharePoint Cloud Story
