With the introduction of globalization of Windows Azure, today's Windows Azure has quickly entered different areas of business, healthcare, education and played a very important role. Not only in other regions of the world, Windows Azure also has very deep cooperation with enterprises, medical institutions, research institutes and educational institutions in many fields in China.

Into the era of cloud computing, cloud services will no longer be just a simple cloud storage capabilities, cloud computing in many ways have played a very important role. Recently, Microsoft Asia-Pacific R & D Group and Shanghai Jiaotong University will be organized by the "Microsoft - Shanghai Jiaotong University cloud computing training seminar," a two-day training seminar for well-known universities and research institutions nearly 200 teachers and students introduced in detail based on Windows Azure's research projects and global application cases, shared Shanghai Jiao Tong University in cloud computing teaching, research experience, while providing hands-on practice.

Through Microsoft's Windows Azure Academic Pass program, classroom instructors can provide a hands-on platform for teaching cloud computing courses by applying in bulk to students for free Windows Azure passes. Since 2011, both sides established the first "cloud computing teaching and research platform" in China through Windows Azure, they have built their private cloud in the school with the latest virtualization technology to provide scalable computing resources for multiple teaching and research projects.

Fu Yu Xi, Dean of the School of Software at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, said: "Over the past eight years, the continuous deepening cooperation with Microsoft Asia Pacific R & D Group has brought us a broader global perspective and enabled us to continuously cooperate with research, teaching and personnel training in IT field The cooperation in the field of cloud computing provides an advanced cloud practice platform for our teaching and research innovation so as to jointly cultivate the technical and management elite engaged in the cloud industry in the future.

As the first university to open a cloud computing course in China, Shanghai Jiaotong University also compiled related materials based on the concept, platform, architecture and application of cloud computing based on Windows Azure and cloud application. The Windows Azure Academic Pass program provides classroom teachers and students with a platform for course development and hands-on practice.

Leong Gebi, director of China Cloud Computing Innovation Center at Microsoft Asia Pacific R & D Group, said: "It is our mission to help customers and partners accelerate cloud computing. As the only IT vendor in the world that provides a full set of cloud services, Microsoft hopes to collaborate with universities and research institutes Further develop more and deeper cooperation to jointly promote China's cloud computing teaching, research and application. "

And Microsoft and domestic universities, research institutes in cloud computing cooperation has also been in full swing: Shanghai Jiao Tong University and jointly set up a "cloud computing teaching and research platform", co-published Microsoft cloud computing series; cloud computing training for universities and research institutes Seminar; donate Windows Azure cloud resources and storage space to CAS Network Information Center, start "Windows Azure cloud resources academic cooperation plan"; assist Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fudan University, Peking University to open cloud computing course; design and develop Windows Azure Teaching Reference Courseware; "Programming Beauty" 2013 National Challenge with Windows Azure as the Final Topic.
