Mr. Ballmer's return to China in half a year to promote Azure landing on cloud theme

Ballmer is about to embark on a new round of visits to China, with a specific itinerary scheduled for late May. This is Mr. Ballmer's second visit to China within six months, during which he will spend hours in China hosting a Windows http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13357.html with a Chinese partner > Azure landing activities, but also to the media to share about Microsoft's cloud landing in China.

Two-year visit to China to accelerate Windows Azure landing

According to Microsoft insiders, some media have received an interview invitation letter from Ballmer. The topic of the interview is around the cloud, Windows Azure unfolds. But it is not clear which media has been given the chance to talk to Mr. Ballmer.

Just last month, Microsoft organized a small media conversation with the theme of Windows Azure. Although Microsoft signed a cooperation agreement with the Shanghai municipal government and the century interconnection last year, Windows Azure has not really landed and is in an internal testing phase.

From the point of view of the news, Microsoft has created a number of samples, including electric companies, logistics companies, medical companies and many traditional enterprises. These companies are conducting in-house testing on Windows Azure, and after next month's launch, Microsoft is likely to release samples to facilitate more companies to join in.

For instance. As a cloud service operating system, a company developer can use Windows Azure to implement on-demand computing and storage, hosting, expanding, and managing Weby applications over the Internet through Microsoft Data centers. One obvious advantage of Microsoft, compared to other platforms, is that many companies already use Microsoft based infrastructure, and Windows Azure can reduce costs.

A number of companies have been involved in Microsoft's internal tests, and they will be presented as a case in the next release. This also means that, following November 1, 2012, the Shanghai, Microsoft and the Century interconnection cooperation, Microsoft in the cloud landing aspects of a lot of exploration and experimentation, and will further accelerate the landing.

Windows Azure landed and affected consumers

In fact, in addition to the possibility that companies will benefit, a large number of Microsoft consumer users can benefit, and the Word-of-mouth from Microsoft users will help Microsoft expand its business in China.

Many people may not be aware that many of the services associated with Chinese users are from Windows Azure, and Microsoft offers a wide range of services, including Windows Live, Office Live, Live Messenger, Bing, and Xbox live, for consumers.

One of the reasons many people have complained about the poor stability of Microsoft's online products is that Microsoft has no data center in China and its cloud-based services are not well developed. Once Windows Azure lands, the stability of Microsoft's online products will be enhanced.
