Microsoft's public cloud services Microsoft Azure Landing, officially open commercial

Microsoft's public cloud service, Microsoft Azure, has officially landed and is officially operational today, offering infrastructure services, data management, Web applications, development and testing, storage, backup and recovery solutions that are open to all Chinese users, the company said today on its official blog.

Microsoft Azure has been operating in China by the century interconnection of China's largest telecommunications-neutral Internet infrastructure service provider, with 81 data centers in 42 cities in China, which is still growing. Microsoft has been trying to offer azure cloud services in China since 2012, and the time has come for nearly a year, with Cntv, Blue Harbor online and Coca-Cola China all connected to azure, and then all users can start using Azure.

AWS also entered China last year, but while AWS is still in the process of inviting deployments, Azure is a preemptive opportunity.
