Does the new Windows Azure Platform mean that customers will move all their future and existing applications to the cloud?
Microsoft provides customers the flexibility to use on-premises technology, cloud technology or both, as part of its software-plus-services (S+S) strategy. Customers have expressed a strong interest in having the flexibility to picking deployment options as their business needs dictate. Microsoft will continue to invest heavily, to innovate and to ship new versions of Windows Azure, SQL Azure, Windows Server, SQL Server and System Center to ensure that customers can have the benefit of cloud computing technologies whether their applications are running in their own datacenters, in a Microsoft Hosting partner’s datacenter or on Windows Azure.
