AWS insists on public cloud, and has only provided private cloud solutions to the Pentagon, and other customers can only use public cloud solutions. Microsoft, which is also in Seattle, has chosen a completely different path. First, it provides more paas and saas services based on its long-term advantages in the enterprise field. Second, it focuses on promoting hybrid cloud, hoping to use different strategies. beat aws.
There are many reasons for customers to choose a hybrid cloud. For example, key data cannot be stored on the public cloud, and “eggs cannot be put in one basket.” If they all choose a single public cloud, the loss will be immeasurable in the event of a failure. In general, customers who choose hybrid cloud hope to enjoy the agility of public cloud and the security of private cloud. Judging from the current trend, this will be the choice of customers for a long time.
What are the key technologies of Microsoft's hybrid cloud?
Key technology 1: cloud operating system.
Microsoft first proposed the cloud os three-in-one architecture (private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud). First of all, let's look at the components of Azure hybrid cloud. From the component part, Microsoft hybrid cloud is quite simple:
• Windows Server for on-premises cloud resources.
• Windows Azure for public cloud resources.
• System Center manages and monitors both environments and the applications running in them.
• Windows Azure Pack integrates with System Center and Windows Server to create a self-service portal to manage sites, VMs, and Service Bus.
Through this windows azure pack, it is convenient for customers to build a private cloud and provide the same experience as the public cloud.
Key Technology 2: Data Exchange and Synchronization of Hybrid Architecture.
One of the most common hybrid scenarios seen in a hybrid cloud architecture is the use of Windows Azure for one application tier. Organizations are increasingly migrating the web tier of their applications to Azure, leaving the middle and data tiers in their data centers. This setup allows the web tier to scale seamlessly with demand, while keeping data within the customer's firewall. In this scenario, public cloud and private cloud data backup and recovery are key capabilities.
