Microsoft Azure:
The Cloud for
Modern Business
Flexibility. Scalability. Reliability.
Microsoft Azure is a public cloud platform that enables you to build, deploy, scale and manage servers, services and applications across a global network of data centers. It allows IT shops to reduce CAPEX and engage in low risk development, while IaaS serves as 'rented hardware' that enterprises can access instantly with little upfront cost and provides the computing, storage and networking functions for existing services or new projects.
See how Azure lets you build, deploy and manage apps in multiple languages, tools and frameworks.
