Before we Start – Let’s Put Your Mind at Ease
• This isn’t an all or nothing proposition– Move what makes sense – when it makes sense– Hybrid approaches allow for some systems to remain
onsite as others move to the cloud.• This is already proven – safe and secure
– Massive redundancy decreases your risk and improves your Disaster Recovery and Business Continuance
Many large companies have already moved– Coca-Cola, Energizer Holdings, GlaxoSmithKline– More than 40M Paid-Users are in production on
Microsoft’s platforms

UNDERSTANDING THE CLOUD: Deployment Models
Source: National Institute of Standards and Technology
Public cloud: The cloud infrastructure is made available to the general public or a large industry group and is owned by an organization selling cloud services.
Private cloud: The cloud infrastructure is operated solely for an organization. It may be managed by the organization or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise.
Hybrid cloud: The cloud infrastructure is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load-balancing between clouds).
Community cloud: The cloud infrastructure is shared by several organizations and supports a specific community that has shared concerns (e.g., mission, security requirements, policy, and compliance considerations). It may be managed by the organizations or a third party and may exist on premise or off premise.
