Microsoft sees cloud computing 鈥榤ilestone鈥
MICROSOFT Corp achieved a “milestone” when the company formally launched its public cloud computing service in China yesterday.
Microsoft is the first foreign company approved by regulators to operate public cloud services in China. The Microsoft Azure cloud service, operated by its local partner, Shanghai-headquartered 21Vianet, has 3,000 clients in the country since a trial started operating from June.
“It’s a milestone of Microsoft after we have invested heavily in the past 18 months,” Ralph Haupter, chairman and CEO of Microsoft China, said during an interview.
More than 300 engineers work for the new Microsoft cloud service.
The Asia-Pacific region, excluding Japan, spent US$7.5 billion on public cloud services and technologies, a surge of 50 percent. It will create 4 million new jobs in China by 2015, US-based research firm International Data Corp said.
Cloud computing allows users to save, edit and process data or files through various devices, including laptops, computers and mobile phones, based on the online “cloud” platform. Cloud computing is identified as one of the strategic industries in China’s 12th Five-Year (2011-2015) Plan.
