Context

Design Principles

> Rock solid fundamentals> Platform for business-critical applications

> Lower TCO> Uses cloud characteristics to lower TCO

> Better together> Comprehensive platform for complete

solutions> Inter-operability

> Enables interaction with other environments

Rock Solid Fundamentals

> Security> Performance and reliability> High availability

> Scale out> Multi-tenancy

Lower TCO

> Higher level of abstraction> Manage services, not servers> Manage data, not databases> Reduces cost of development &

operations> Access to shared resources

> Various levels of multi-tenancy> Reduces cost of entry & operations

> Familiar programming models> Reduces cost of development &

maintenance

Better Together

> One stop shop for required functionality> Location affinity

> Co-located services in locations across the globe> One project

> Manage software components across the platform > One bill

> Consistent usage-based billing models> View and manage one bill across the platform

> Shared functionality> Microsoft Pinpoint, Microsoft Codename “Dallas”,

…

Better Together

Inter-Operability

> Componentized platform> Use any subset of the services to build

apps> Build your own tools using service APIs

> Language agnostic application hosting> Use any framework supported by

Windows> Language agnostic services

> Program against services using open web APIs

> Connected platform> Integrate with on-premises apps, identity,

etc.
