AX: Built on Microsoft


AX on Azure | User Training

1. Training & Orientation: Hitachi Solutions AXcellerate

• An important part of our Blueprint Phase in the early project stages

• Full Implementation: SQL, Windows, SharePoint, AX AOS, Enterprise Portal

• Technical: 80 Cores, 500 Gig RAM

• Quick set up, 10-20 user roles for a week – Microsoft Base Configuration

Deploy in 1-2 days instead of 1 to 2 weeks – and quickly decommission

Why? Agility.


AX on Azure: Test and Dev

2. Rapid Environment Deployment

• Full Implementation: SQL, Windows, SharePoint, AX AOS, Enterprise Portal

• Technical: 4 Cores 25-50 Gig, per Developer and each Environment

• Templated set up for Development: Build, Test and Stage Environments

• Also: Visual Studio Online - Free for < 5 users

Build project environments without overburdening infrastructure resources

Why? Capability.


AX on Azure: Production

3. Lifecycle Services (LCS) for High Availability – coming soon!• LCS: Currently in Private BETA, Customer TAPs underway

• LCS will Auto-configure & deploy AX components – AOS EP SP SQL - into

Azure

• AX gains Azure’s SLA’s for performance and availability

AX on Azure provides Microsoft’s support behind your implementation

Why? Dependability.

SP on Azure: ScenariosDevelopment / Testing

Disaster Recovery

App Farms

Training

Production / Pre-Prod (Internet)

Production / Pre-Prod (Intranet/Collab)


SP on Azure | Development / TestingDevelopment

• One VM per developer

• Dependant on type of

development

• Each VM will contain SP and

SQL

• 7GB RAM min

• Template can be saved for

more streamlined VM creation

Testing

• Beneficial for quick functional

PoCs

• Leverage Azure Preview Portal

SharePoint Farm Deployment• 8 clicks to build a scalable

farm – including domain

Development / Testing


SP on Azure | Disaster Recovery

Warm Standby

• More expensive – VMs are always running

• Less time required to bring DR environment online

• Potential to start with small farm and scale out as

per disaster demands

Disaster Recovery

Considerations

• Synchronizing custom farm solutions

• Connections to data sources on premises (BDC and search content sources)

• Search restore scenarios

• Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)

Cold Standby

• More cost effective – VMs need to be started

in a DR situation

• Addition time required to bring DR

environment onlineVS


General Considerations

• Capital costs

• Data center capacity• Scalability

• High Availability• Load-balanced endpoints

• Availability Sets in Azure

• Integration

• Active Directory• Site to Site VPN with 2 DCs in Azure SP Subnet (minimum)

• Local domain to Azure & SP subnet (Internet facing scenario)
