Manage Resources to Provide Abstraction

The Fabric Controller communicates

with every server within the Fabric. It

manages the Windows Azure operating

system, monitors every application, decides

where new applications should run –

optimizing hardware utilization.

Defining Windows Azure Architecture

Virtualized Computation provides

massive application scalability. Customers can build a combination of web and worker roles. Those roles can be replicated as needed to scale the applications and computational processing power.

Storage Services allow

customers to scale to store large amounts of data – in any format – for any length of time, only paying for what they use or store.

Service Management is performed by

the Fabric Controller, which controls all the resources within the data center. The Fabric Controller deploys your service and monitors the overall health of the fabric.

Security and Control State-of-

the-art physical security processes combined with strictly controlled OS access model. Data is replicated in multiple fault domains in location selected by the customer.

State-of-the-art data centers located around the

world. Host your applications and data securely, accessible from everywhere you allow.

Windows Azure Automates the Management of Your IT Resources

GOAL: Massive Scalability

Scale out – not up – by replicating

worker instances as needed.

Allow applications to scale

user and compute processing

independently.

Two role types: Web Role & Worker Role Windows Azure applications are built with web roles, worker roles, or a combination of both deployed to a number of instances.

Each instance runs on its own VM (virtual machine), replicated as needed
