New: Windows Azure Trust Center

A couple of new Windows Azure announcement were made today.  As my colleague Bruce Kyle covered earlier, the Windows Azure team announced the availability of two new datacenters in the US:  East US & West US.  For what I assume are security purposes, the exact location of these data centers was not released.  (I’m guessing they are east & west of the Mississippi River respectively.)

Speaking of security, the Windows Azure team also announced something that I’m sure will answer a lot of frequently asked questions I get when speaking about Azure with customers: A shiny new Windows Azure Trust Center on WindowsAzure.com! 

One of the most frequent category of questions I get about Windows Azure relates to the general topic of security:  Is my data safe technically?  Physically (data center)? What regulations and certifications does Azure comply with?  etc, etc.   Now you can have all of those questions answered in one location!
