Deploying and Managing
Large-Scale Online Services at Microsoft

Speaker:  Brent Jacobs
Group Manager, Windows Live Operations - Microsoft

Microsoft runs some of the largest systems on the Internet, such as Hotmail and Messenger, each with hundreds of millions of users. Managing such large complex systems, scaling them to meet demand is challenging – especially when they span many countries. Our presenter, Brent Jacobs, has worked on several large online services ranging from MSN.Com publishing systems to Office. His team is responsible for planning, deploying, operating and optimizing several systems supporting users located in Japan and throughout the rest of Asia. He will share with us what goes on behind the scenes when preparing new services for launch, what services are currently available, and present a roadmap of the services to be launched in the future.
