MMS Day Four : Keynote
The Reality of the Cloud
Ok, I missed some of this due to working some last night (a new Ops Manager RMS Server!), excess sleep and work to catch up on this morning. But I did get there in time to hear internal Microsoft talk about number that are beyond comprehension : 5000 servers per server admin, hundreds of thousands of total servers, trillions of row updates per day in Ops Manager. Yikes.
They piloted Ops Mgr SP1 on a small 1000 servers. Once that's complete they'll extend it to 39,000 servers.
It's hard to think that they face the exact same problems we do, but on a much more massive scale. On top of that they have to dogfood their own products, which is something I wouldn't want to do in early pre-releases.
