The Windows Azure platform is a flexible cloud–computing platform that lets you focus on solving business problems and addressing needs. No need to invest upfront on expensive infrastructure. Pay only for what you use, scale up when you need capacity and pull it back when you don’t. We handle all the patches and maintenance — all in a secure environment.
Please leverage the wealth of resources located at www.microsoft.com/azure to help with white papers, guidance and training.
