Microsoft turns health defender: Provides cloud computing resources against Ebola virus

Beijing time October 22 Morning News, Microsoft (44.08,0.45,1.03%) CEO Satia Nadra (Satya Nadella) announced in Monday, will provide access to approved medical researchers free cloud computing and research applications to fight the Ebola virus. "One of the steps we will take from tomorrow morning is to provide the researchers with Azure computing resources," Nadra said in a speech in San Francisco. In addition, Microsoft researchers have previously developed tools for the discovery of vaccines. We want to make these tools available to researchers. Microsoft's Web site shows that Microsoft Research is soliciting suggestions for cloud computing to help people better understand the spread and treatment of Ebola virus.
