    Challenges to Building Scalable Services A Survey of Microsoft’s Internet Services MSR-TR-2015-29 Comments from the Authors: This paper was originally circulated as a Microsoft Confidential memo in fall 1999. Its purpose was to document the findings of the co-authors as we attempted to understand the state-of-the-art of large internet services. Our original intent was to gather the data documented in this paper purely for our own to understand. However, as we discussed early findings with our colleagues, we quickly realized the value of circulating them to a wider audience. The original memo was circulated to Microsoft’s entire executive staff and quickly passed around. From file server data, we believe over 1,000 MS employees read the original memo in the first three months after internal publication. This release of the memo has been modified slightly from the original to remove non- technical information, such as business plans. Due to an unfortunate oversight on my part, the original memo did not name each of the people we interviewed. Those pioneers deserved recognition at the time and their groundbreaking work deserves now to be remembered by history. In the 15 years since this paper’s circulation, much has changed at Microsoft and in the industry. Experience gathered in writing this paper directly lead to our discovery of the core principles of what is now widely known as cloud computing. In 1999, Microsoft’s largest internet service had just over 2,000 computers. Today, many cloud services use over 100,000 servers. Many of the services and technologies described in this paper no longer exist.

What should you do? Go to each of the servers and make sure they are up and functioning? Check that your router is functioning? Check each computer for a malfunctioning network card? Now consider this scenario.You go to your main network switch or border router and configure one of the unused ports for port mirroring.You plug in your laptop, fire up your network analyzer, and see thousands of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets (destined for port 25) with various Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.You investigate and learn that there is a virus on the network that spreads through e-mail, and immediately apply access filters to block these packets from entering or exiting your network.Thankfully, you were able to contain the problem relatively quickly because of your knowledge and use of your network analyzer.
