I’m a network service provider. What can I do with the Windows Azure platform?
One of your most valuable assets is your SMB customer base. SMB customers prefer to buy from fewer providers and would rather purchase certain value-added services in a bundle with their voice and data network. Instead of building out your own value-added services infrastructure for products such as cloud storage, simple web sites and simple databases, you now have the opportunity to enable these features without the infrastructure investment risk by deploying them on the Windows Azure platform. You can even consider scenarios where you integrate your unified messaging system with the Windows Azure platform to create new and compelling solutions that combine presence and data access across your network and the cloud.
