What is cloud computing?Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demandnetwork access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources(e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can berapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort orservice provider interaction

Cloud Computing Models

Benefits of the Cloud? No longer responsible for the hardware your cloud resources run on Easily replicate your resources across geographic sites for redundancy Incredible flexibility . Quickly scale up or down to meet changes indemand. Move from capital expense model to operating expense model No large bills for hardware refreshes!!

Potential downsides to the Cloud Dependent on connectivity to the Cloud Vendor lock-in: It can be difficult and expensive to move yourresources out of the cloud Limited control: Typically have little to no control over hardware or backend softwareupgrades Very little you can do in the event of a cloud related outage

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Resizable compute capacity Complete control of your computing resourcesAmazonEC2 Reduced time required to obtain and boot new serverinstances

Amazon EC2 Facts Scale capacity as your computing requirements change Pay only for capacity that you actually use Choose Linux or Windows Deploy across AWS Regions and Availability Zones forreliability Use tags to help manage your Amazon EC2 resources

Launching an Amazon EC2 Instance via the Management Console1. Determine the AWS Region in which you want tolaunch the Amazon EC2 instance.2. Launch an Amazon EC2 instance from a preconfigured Amazon Machine Image (AMI).3. Choose an instance type based on CPU, memory,storage, and network requirements.4. Configure network, IP address, security groups,storage volume, tags, and key pair.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI) DetailsAn AMI includes the following: A template for the root volume for the instance(for example, an operating system, an applicationserver, and applications). Launch permissions that control which AWSaccounts can use the AMI to launch instances. A block device mapping that specifies thevolumes to attach to the instance when it islaunched.

Instances and AMIsSelect an AMI based on: Region Operating system Architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) Launch permissions Storage for the root deviceLaunch instances ofany typeInstanceHost computerAMIInstancesHost computer

With the acquisition of FSLogix, eligible customers will get access tothree core pieces of technologyFSLogixTechnologiesProfile ContainerReplacement for roaming profiles and folder redirection. Dramatically speeds uplogon and application launch times. Includes Office 365 Container, which roams Office cache data (Outlook OST, OneDrivecache, Skype for Business GAL, etc.) and Windows Search DB with user in virtual desktopenvironments.App MaskingMinimize number of gold images by creating a single image with all applications.Excellent app compatibility with no packaging, sequencing, backendinfrastructure, or virtualization.Java RedirectionHelps protect the enterprise from vulnerabilities of multiple installed versions ofJava by mapping specific versions to individual apps or websites.

Azure Consumption Pay only for the virtual machines (VMs), storage, and networking when using theservice. Pick VM and storage options to match your use cases. Purchase one-year or three-year Azure Reserved Virtual Machine Instances, forup to 72% savings versus pay-as-you-go pricing.

Microsoft WindowsVirtual DesktopAWS Workspaces

AWS Workspaces Your personal desktop in the cloud; lessens need for profilemanagement Can tie into your existing Active Directory Lots of different hardware options, including vGPUs for high endgraphic needs Windows licensing can be built into the cost or you can BYOL (youmust commit to running at least 200 Amazon WorkSpaces in agiven AWS region each month)

Microsoft WindowsVirtual DesktopCloud Based File Services

AWS FSx Storage capacity 0.13 per GB per monthThroughput capacity 2.20 per MBps per monthBackup storage 0.05 per GB per month (Simple backups built into the offering)Nothing runs on premise (no appliance or Windows server to manageNo local file cachingBuilt in data deduplication (depending on the file type AWS claims 30%-80%storage reduction is average) Uses SSD drives sub-millisecond performance. Great if you have applicationsthat require fast access to file shares. (applications would need to run in AWS inorder to benefit from this) Integrates with Active Directory

AWS Storage Gateway Data written to AWS storage by your gateway 0.01 per GB (file) Volume storage 0.023 per GB-month of data stored (volume) Requires an appliance on site (something else to manage and itconsumes local resources) Local file caching (may give better performance for on-prem) Limited to 10 shares per storage gateway (file) Integrates with Active Directory

Azure Files Choose between standard files (HDD based hardware) and premiumfiles (SDD based hardware) Pricing starts at .06 per GB for standard files and .24 for premiumfiles. (cost can go up on depending on level of redundancy you need) Accessible via SMB Integrates with Active Directory Azure File Sync can be used to replicate Azure Files to an on-site fileserver
