“The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed
processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models.
It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local
computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the
library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a
highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to
failures.”

Office365 is a set of cloud-based services that bring together Office software with sites to share documents, IM, web conferencing, and the power of Exchange Online, the industry’s leading business-class email with 25GB mailboxes & built-in layers of anti-virus and anti-spam protection. Office365 is collaboration for everyone. Office365 has Office at the core which is the heart of collaboration, and is known and recognized for ease of use, familiarity, productivity. Office365 is a cloud service provided and backed by Microsoft, and some of the best partners in the world.
What is Office365?
Microsoft Office365 Plans
Microsoft Office365 Includes:
Office365: For Organizations with Internal IT or Partner IT
Microsoft Office365 takes
the industry’s most recognized set of productivity and
collaboration tools and delivers them as a subscription
service.
With cloud services, your
organization can lower overall costs
and deliver the right set of tools
for the right users, all with
appropriate layers of security and compliance.
Millions of customers use the Microsoft Business Productivity Online
Services suite today.
Office365 includes a financially-
backed service-level agreement, allowing you to
feel confident that you chose the best
cloud solution.
How is Office365 useful?
Why in the cloud?
As the workforce continues to become more remote, more mobile, and more reliant on multiple devices...
the cloud is the right architecture to reduce complexity and to deliver services to
employees anywhere, anytime, and on any device.
SMB organizations focused on business growth should ask this question first:
Why in the cloud?
“Can we run this in the cloud?”
Then look for reasons why a workload should remain on-premises.
Why in the cloud?
A smaller business can now afford the benefits of enterprise-class IT infrastructure and the latest versions of software applications without the traditional financial hurdles (or roadblocks). Removing the large upfront capital expenditures in favor of the predictability of paying on a metered or per-user basis changes an SMB’s financial statement in good ways.
Not just for SMBs…
“Office365 delivered an ROI of 321% with a payback period of 2 months for the composite midsize organization. Office365 improves productivity, provides IT peace of mind, and reduces TCO compared to a similar on premises implementation.”
Forrester Research Study
“Our IT staff did not have time to work on new ideas. Most of the time was spent managing infrastructure. Moving to the cloud allows us to focus on
business process innovation.”
“Managing servers, patching, and general troubleshooting
were a lot of what we used to do. Now we can work on other projects that bring more value
to the company.”
“We currently have a lot of different license costs, and it can be hard to keep track of
them. With Office365 we have very transparent cost model.”
“With Office365 we have not had any downtime. That is very
different than when we were running Exchange on premises.”
“The disaster recovery capabilities are vastly superior
to what we could have provided on our own.”
“When you have large clients, you don’t want to have fragile systems and outages that can negatively influence how they
view you.”
Quotes from Forrester Interviews
…as well as your tablet and
smartphone.

email, calendar, and contacts with Office
applications optimized for
your PC or Mac…

Office365 Features:

Office365 Features:
Before adopting any technology be it on-premise, cloud, etc., have a goal-focused conversation both internally then with your IT providers.
Ask yourselves what you want your business to look like in one year, 5 years, 30 years (legacy).
Implement technical milestones for supporting those goals.
Partner for IT providers that spend lots of time listening to your strategy before pitching technology.
Consider credentials and certifications of cloud providers as a company as well as individual staff.
Closing thoughts
Do the cloud providers use their own staff and network operations center?
Are the NOCs 24x7 or is there only next business day service?
Are the cloud providers able to facilitate the connections to their data center?
Do the cloud providers provide service level agreements and monitoring?
What services do the cloud providers to provide their overall service?
What are the client-side commitments and responsibilities for the cloud computing engagement
