Microsoft rejigs Azure to take on Amazon


Microsoft Corporation officially threw down the gauntlet here on Thursday, right at the feet of Amazon’s web services, launching a revamped version of its cloud services platform and simultaneously hosting a software developer meet here.


“With the economic slowdown, large companies are eager to cut down capital expenditure, and funding for start-ups is even lesser. Cloudcomputing helps cut down expenditure without cutting down on capacity. To this end, we are also partnering venture capital firm Freemont Ventures to help fund non-professional developers and start-ups who are based wholly on the cloud,” Mr. Karnakota said.
