The cloud has been called the next logical step in business computing—but there is still a lot of confusion about what it really means. Microsoft cloud services offers a new model for business computing. You choose the amount of service you want, whether it's IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS, Start small in the cloud, or collaborate with us or our Partners for complete hybrid solutions, with unparalleled service and support.
