6. Who is using the Cloud now?  For Business use?  For Personal use? 6 |07/05/2016 David Postlethwaite

7. Why the Cloud?  “Why do we need to buy and maintain our own servers and spend our lives upgrading and fixing them?”  “Why do we need an expensive DR site that sits idle most of the time?”  “Why can’t I just rent a file server or a database server or a webserver or even an application and pay someone else to manage it?” 7 |07/05/2016 David Postlethwaite (IBM archive)

8. What is Cloud Computing?  cloud computing  noun: cloud computing;  The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. 8 |07/05/2016 David Postlethwaite Wikipedia

15. Inside the Azure Data Centres 15 |07/05/2016 David Postlethwaite 1,800 -2,500 servers 100 Containers 220,000 servers

16. Power Usage Effectiveness PUE  Power usage effectiveness (PUE) is a measure of how efficiently a computer data centre uses energy;  How much energy is used by the computing equipment compared to the energy used for cooling and other overheads). 16 |07/05/2016 David Postlethwaite Industry Average 2.0 Azure Data Centre 1.25

29. Limitations of Azure SQL Database  Unsupported Features  Extended Properties  Anything to do with Agent and msdb  Features related to database file placement, size etc.  Many DBCC commands  Filestream  Global temporary tables  Linked Servers  SHUTDOWN  https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/ee336281.aspx 29 | 207/05/2016 David Postlethwaite
