19. Defining the Web and Worker Roles WEB ROLE WORKER ROLE Interacts with end-user or web services Handles incoming HTTP/HTTPS requests Develop with Microsoft and non-Microsoft tools: ASP.NET, WCF, other .NET tools Java, PHP, etc. Does not accept incoming requests Initiates their own requests for data or tasks from the queue Similar to a "batch job" or Windows service
20. Defining Windows Azure Architecture 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.
21. 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. 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. 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
22. Service Management in Windows Azure GOAL: Automated application management and control Fabric: The collection of servers Multiple VMs per server Each VM runs customized Hypervisor Windows Server 2008 Choose from four different VM sizes, based on your application needs Fabric Controller performs service management You tell it what to do—it figures out how Automatically scale up, scale down, update or roll application back to a previous version Simple system management and deployment APIs =Fabric Agent

42. Business Need: Recently, Epicor has sought to respond to customer demands for reliable, cost-effective Internet-based applications that also connect with on-premise ERP capabilities. Case Study: Solution: Shortly after its introduction to Azure, Epicor decided to migrate Epicor Enterprise Search, an Internet search experience application included with its ERP suite. To migrate the search application to Azure, Epicor replaced the SQL Server portion of the application with Azure data services Company Profile: Epicor, headquartered in Irvine, California, provides integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solutions to more than 20,000 customers in 140 countries. Founded in 1984, Epicor is a Microsoft® Gold Certified Partner and the world’s sixth-largest independent software vendor. The organization, which has more than 3,000 employees who work in 50 global offices, had revenues of U.S.$429 million in fiscal year 2007. Benefit: With Azure, Epicor can cut costs, provide a range of Internet-based services, and extend existing developer skills, all to deliver better experiences to customers. "Because this application is developed and managed on Azure, our customers can get an Internet search experience for their critical business data more easily and without requiring additional internal servers outside the firewall.” —Erik Johnson, Senior Director of Product Research, Epicor
43. Business Need: One of the company’s solutions is PolicyPortal, developed to help organizations manage and protect PCs inside and outside Active Directory domains. However, the solution was designed to be hosted, so it took a long time to set up with hosting service providers. This led to higher infrastructure costs and delays in closing agreements with customers. Case Study: Solution: PolicyPortal uses Azure services to automatically enforce Group Policy settings on machines that are temporarily or permanently disconnected from Active Directory. Company Profile: FullArmor helps large organizations manage their IT user policy and endpoint security with solutions based on Microsoft® products and technologies. A Boston-based Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, FullArmor targets large organizations such as Boeing, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Eli Lilly, Wal-Mart, and Bank of America, and it has a customer base of more than 5 million users and 1,500 organizations worldwide. Benefit Drivers: By moving to Azure, FullArmor was able to reduce the costs of customer provisioning and meet their growing infrastructure requirements on an as-needed basis. “We were able to move the application quickly because our original version of PolicyPortal was written purely in managed code using ASP.NET. As a result, about 80 percent of the code could be migrated without any changes being required in order to work in the Azure environment.” — Danny Kim, CTO, FullArmor
44. Solution: Location-aware service and application platform hosted on Windows Azure IIS 7.0, Bing Maps, Silverlight 3.0, Focus on online solutions for connecting people, locating and sharing resources.
