Windows Server and Azure merged
It seems that Microsoft is making a serious bet on cloud computing. This is confirmed by the news about the integration of Windows Azure with the Windows Server and Solutions division. As a result, a new organization called Server and Cloud Division has been formed, which will also deal with the Azure public cloud, private clouds of customers and hosting partners .
This Microsoft solution was quite expected, because Azure is no longer a pilot project, but should be profitable. The best way to do this is in conjunction with the server business, which at Microsoft is a good money making machine, and there is also an extensive customer base.
Another significant news is that Ray Ozzie (Microsoft Technical Director) was removed from the post of Azure project manager, and Ambit Srivastava was appointed. This is a signal that Azure has already grown from a technical project into a full-fledged business. I wonder how it will affect the pricing policy of Azure?
