Windows Azure is part of a set of new and existing technologies behind the Azure Services Platform, a development and execution platform that runs end-user and corporate software on Microsoft’s own servers, accessible over the web. It joins Google’s App Engine and Amazon’s EC2 in an increasingly competitive market.
Microsoft’s Ray Ozzie also noticed that the Azure Services Platform won’t run on a company’s own servers. This service will run on a huge number of machines housed in Microsoft’s own data centers. Microsoft will use it as a delivery service too. David Thompson, vice president of Microsoft Online, said throughout the keynote presentation that,
“All our enterprise software will be delivered as an online service, as an option.”
Presently, applications for Windows Azure can be developed via Microsoft’s Visual Studio. The company assured that, in future it will work for Eclipse, Ruby, Python and other open source languages and tools.
