HYDERABAD: To further hasten Indian customers move to the Cloud, Microsofton Wednesday launched Azure Stack for India.
Azure Stack is an extension of Microsoft's Azure Cloud platform and brings the agility and fast-paced innovation of Cloud computing to on-premises environments and enables entirely new hybrid Cloud scenarios.

Microsoft works with over 200,000 large, medium and small enterprises, 29 state governments and over 5,000 start-ups in the country.
"In the last 18 months, the company has seen many of these customers start their digital transformation using the hybrid Cloud. The only provider of all three clouds - private, public and hybrid - Microsoft has now launched Azure Stack for India," the company said in a statement.
"As many mobile-only and Cloud-only collaboration and productivity scenarios emerge in the workplace, we are working with our customers and partners to accelerate movement to the intelligent Cloud and edge in the next year and to help build new engines of growth," said Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India.
