Windows® Azure is a cloud services operating system that serves as the development, service hosting and service management environment for the Azure Services Platform. Windows Azure provides developers with on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage Web applications on the Internet through Microsoft® data centers.

To build these applications and services, developers can use their existing Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2008 expertise. In addition, Windows Azure supports popular standards and protocols including SOAP, REST, and XML. Windows Azure is an open platform that will support both Microsoft and non-Microsoft languages and environments.

Why Use the Azure Services Platform?

The Azure™ Services Platform provides developers the ability to create compelling experiences on the web and combines the power of the internet with a multitude of devices for new applications. It provides a quick on-ramp to authoring and running applications by hosting them in Microsoft data centers and affordably fits user needs by offering a scalable infrastructure in a pay as you go business model.

The services platform can also extend and breathe new life into existing investments by providing cloud capabilities to on-premises applications.
