Ook Microsoft heeft zich inmiddels in hoger sferen begeven met het Azure Services Platform

Azure moet de competitie aangaan met Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine, en Salesforce

Azure biedt service hosting en management, scalable storage en een development omgeving

De key componenten bestaan uit:

• Windows Azure for service hosting and management, low-level scalable storage, computation and networking
• Microsoft SQL Services for a wide range of database services and reporting
• Microsoft .NET Services which are service-based implementations of familiar .NET Framework concepts such as workflow and access control
• Live Services for a consistent way for users to store, share and synchronize documents, photos, files and information across their PCs, phones, PC applications and Web sites
• Microsoft SharePoint Services and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Services for business content, collaboration and rapid solution development in the cloud
