Azure Clouds, it sounds like the title of a poem. Actually it's anything but.
Microsoft
announced this week Windows Azure, the cloud-based service foundation underlying its Azure Services Platform.
So what is "Cloud Computing?" There's a pretty good description of it
here on Wikipedia. Essentially Cloud Computing is a metephor in a sense for the Internet. It could be thought of as akin to a public utility. Simply put, it makes interaction with all sorts of programs and information that much easier.
Microsoft's Azure Program is the latest addition to the next big thing. Until of course, the next big thing comes along.
Very cool.
