3. About Me

4. SharePoint Cloud Story

5.  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  99.9% uptime  Flexibility and Choice  Single Sign on  Easy to understand SLAs  Spin up multiple environments quickly (Dev, UAT..) Cloud Goals

6.  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  Provision in hours not days  Billing is easy to manage. Pay by the hour/month  Plan -> Test -> Deploy -> Stabilise -> Go Live..Faster SharePoint Cloud Story
