Microsoft & IT as a Service Whitepaper

Cloud computing is changing how we think about information technology. There are new deployment options, new business models, and new opportunities everywhere. It's all about IT on Your Terms. It's about IT as a Service. It's a transformation that allows organizations to focus on their business, not on running infrastructure. This whitepaper focuses on Microsoft's PaaS offering: the Windows Azure platform.

Microsoft's Windows Azure platform complements the existing Windows Server platform. Together, these two platforms allow enterprises, regional service providers, and Microsoft itself to deliver applications across private and public clouds with a consistent identity, management, and application architecture.

By increasing business value and lowering costs, this foundation for IT as a Service will transform how organizations use information technology.
