Microsoft Unveils New Cloud Focus for SA at Tech-Ed Africa

Microsoft Unveils New Cloud Focus for SA at Tech-Ed Africa: "Microsoft has stepped up its new aggressive drive into the South African consumer and cloud space with the imminent local release in the next few months of two key products: its “Azure” cloud platform and its cloud subscription version of Office, Office 365 as well as with the recently released Windows Phone Mango platform.

That was the big news from the opening day of the software maker’s Tech-Ed and Partner Summit 2011 in Durban, which has attracted more than 3 500 technology vendors, developers and executives from across Africa.

Microsoft‘s corporate vice-president Jason Zander said that Microsoft’s cloud platform, Azure, is planned for release between March and May 2012. Office 365, which brings cloud productivity to businesses of all sizes, will be commercially available in the first half of 2012, with a trial towards the end of 2011."
