Why the Cloud?

"Each Microsoft product group is moving to the cloud as a fundamental business platform.”

-Microsoft Build, 2011

“This is the bet for the company. For the cloud, we’re all in”

-University of Washington, 2010

MSIT should have the goal of "making the cloud the center of our IT development and planning process."

-Memo 2011

Database Backup & Restore

• Two concepts

• Fly all databases to SPO datacenter and restore

• Longer read only window, done in one fell swoop

• Break into batches

• Sites stay in Read/Write while db’s flown over

• Sites locked when incremental updates flown over following weekend

• Limits Read Only window to 72 hours; weekend maintenance windows

Site Collection Backup/Restore :

• Granularity to keep the read/only window ~ 24 hours, enabled weekday execution

• Site Restore triggers the link fix-up we need to move the host name

• ~ 200 GB or ~1000 sites per day (whichever comes first)

• Requires two staging environments, very manual
