Building a comprehensive enterprise cloud ecosystem

Over the past 20 years, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11208.html ">microsoft has collaborated with OEMs, system integrators, ISVs, CSV, distributors and VAR, Built one of the world's largest enterprise partner ecosystems. We have done this because the customer and the industry need to collaborate on the solution. By collaborating with our partners, we have built the most comprehensive enterprise technology ecosystem, and now we will focus on the enterprise cloud.

To that end, we worked with Amazon to integrate Windows server, SQL Server, and the entire Microsoft product line into Amazon Web Services. We also work with EMC, a handful of VMware and Pivotal developers in their respective fields. We also work with innovative companies around the world (such as emotive), system integrators (such as Accenture and Gemini), and many other (large, small, and Non-commercial) partners.

It is clear that the various technologies and companies need to collaborate, which means that competitors are often partners. This is well known and indeed should be. There is a particular need for technologies to collaborate in cloud computing, where various platforms and services are closely related and must work together to provide the benefits of cloud computing in the way that customers need them.

It is not surprising, therefore, that we work with our competitor's technology leaders. We work with these companies (and plan to work with more companies) to deliver our products and services to as many customers as possible. We will continue to collaborate across industries to ensure that our products and services work with the many platforms, business applications, services, and clouds that customers use.

As I said before, this will be an exciting year for Windows Azure, and so far it's only been 6 months. Please look forward to, we will give you more surprises!
