• The cloud emerges as a major disruptive force in shaping the nature of business and plays a major opportunity and allowing dramatic global growth. The cloud brings breakthrough change, and thus represents (for incumbents) a major opportunity and plays a determining role.An increasing number of people recognize the benefits of locating existing applications or building new ones in the public cloud to reduce infrastructure and ongoing datacenter operational costs, along with the technical debt, maximize availability, simplify management, take advantage of a predictable pricing model – provided that the resource consumption is also predictable, rapidly deliver to the market, elastically scale in respect to the demand, but also to build and leverage key competitive advantages, open multichannel access for their own business, etc.In such a context, Microsoft Azure is an open, flexible, enterprise-grade cloud computing platform that provides an ever growing collection of integrated Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Services (PaaS) cloud services - compute, storage, networking, data lake, not only SQL (NoSQL) and relational (SQL) database, advanced analytics, Machine Learning, Internet of Things (IoT), mobile, web, API, etc. - that allow organizations of any size to move faster, achieve more, and save money.As a direct translation of Microsoft’s strategy that consists in:
