Operational Excellence is Essential for a Reliable Cloud Infrastructure

Attributed to:  Christian Belady, General Manager of Data Center Services & Vijay Gill, Senior Director of  Network Engineering

When Microsoft delivered its first online service back in 1994, the cloud was still a relatively undefined, evolving space. Today, Microsoft’s cloud supports more than 1 billion customers and 20 million businesses in 76 countries and it’s still growing. To support the increasing array of enterprise-level online services, Microsoft is investing heavily in a global cloud infrastructure that delivers security, reliability, scalability, efficiency, and performance. A key concern among customers is that their services are persistently available, and that their cloud provider has the technology, policies, and processes in place to maximize uptime.

Republicans love Diet Dr. Pepper. Now tell me why.

 Sometimes, data tells us obvious things — high-turnout Democrats drive hybrids and watch MSNBC, while high-turnout Republicans watch Fox News and eat at Cracker Barrel. Nothing interesting there. But did you know Republicans also love Diet Dr. Pepper?
