Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform offering IaaS and PaaS services. As with other cloud computing platforms on the market, Azure is designed to be highly flexible and scalable with the ability to integration it with existing infrastructure easily. Offering a number of solutions for customers, the goal of this white paper is to explore Microsoft Azure Storage, to understand how it works and to get hands-on experience working with it.
