Microsoft executives say cloud computing offers another opportunity for Microsoft

June 25, 2011, according to foreign media reports, Microsoft's new server and Tool department president Satya Nadella in the office after the first public address, said cloud computing is Microsoft can take advantage of another plan, as Microsoft used to use the birth of a PC.

Nadella, who replaced Bob Muglia as head of the Microsoft server and Tools department in February this year. If you look at our history, he said, our history can always use an inflection point and become a democratic force to support this inflection point.

Nadella, in a 20-minute discussion at the Gigaom Architecture Conference in Wednesday, said that, at the theoretical level, if you say there is a fundamental change in architecture, we must support and take advantage of this transformation. ' Microsoft always emphasizes low prices and high output, ' he said. The consumer-based economy of cloud computing is in line with Microsoft's advantage.

' We are not companies with high licence fees, Nadella said. I think this is a structurally good thing for us. But, to be sure, we must innovate in technology.

Microsoft's platform, Service Cloud (PaaS), Windows Azure, has been open to businesses for a year, but it's not as widely used as Amazon's infrastructure, services, and Salesforce platforms.

However, Nadella insists that Amazon's success can help Microsoft because Amazon hosts Microsoft server software. ' A large part of our Windows business is done through Amazon, ' he said. My approach is to work with anyone in this field as widely as possible.

Office 365 is not a Nadella responsible business. But he is willing to acknowledge the problems Microsoft executives are trying to avoid in discussions: the online version of Office Web apps in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel is limited. The software is good, he says, but not as good as the current Office client software.

About Azure,nadella says Microsoft can provide public cloud services and the software needed to build a private cloud. Windows Azure devices enable customers such as Fujitsu and ebay to bring Microsoft's cloud technology to their own data centers.
