As the current decade unfolds one of the biggest transformations in the technology landscape through cloud services, Windows Azure is clearly taking the lead in providing a ready platform for deploying and scaling out of your custom-built web applications.
Windows Azure platform not only complies with the most stringent Security and Privacy standards, but is the only offering in the industry that supports a 99.9% uptime SLA with a financially backed guarantee.
