Alfresco Enterprise on Azure
Shah Rahman
Founder and CEO, CloudlyIO
Why Cloud for ECM?
• Most audience knows “cloud”:
•
•
•
•
Scalability
Elasticity
On-demand
Pay-per-use
• Top concerns I hear:
• Migration
• Security
• Privacy
Introducing Cloudly.IO
Cloudly makes moving data in and out of clouds or
data centers easy
We address a problem that’s usually manual, labor
intensive and time consuming
“data mobility” instead of “data migration”
Alfresco and Cloudly
Partnership
• Alfresco on AWS and Azure
• Azure artifacts
•
Architecture, implementation and automation
• Optimization of AWS implementation
• Enable ECM data mobility
• Between Alfresco on-premise and cloud
• Between Alfresco on different clouds
• Greenfield or migration of Alfresco to cloud

Security Settings
• Endpoint configuration provides perimeter
security
• ACLs help control incoming traffic
• Firewall configuration: ports, protocols
• SSL for HTTPS
Database Settings
• SQL Server on a VM
• Natively supported by Alfresco
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008
• Setup scripts are leveraged
• Azure SQL support on the roadmap
Managing Alfresco on Azure
• Azure provides:
• Infrastructure management
• Platform management
• Customer requires:
• Application lifecycle management
• Performance management
• Operational monitoring
Scaling on Azure
① Geographic regions
② Traffic manager works across availability sets
③ Instance scaling for Alfresco servers
④ Master/multi-slave SQL servers
⑤ Highly durable blob storage

Advantages
① Familiar Windows environment
② Microsoft stack footprint in Enterprise
③ PaaS features make it relatively easier to
configure and manage Alfresco
④ Blobs are well-suited for binary contents
⑤ Azure SQL is massively scalable for ECM
deployments (when available)
