Microsoft will offer customers to participate in the private preview of Microsoft Azure from Indian data centres in July. This will give them a head-start to run trials of their apps on Microsoft Azure from local infrastructure. With these hyper-scale data centres, Microsoft will offer enterprise-grade cloud services from local data centers to customers of all sizes and industries including government departments and banking and financial services. Microsoft will launch the commercial cloud services from local data centres by the end of this year.
In addition to Microsoft Azure and Office 365, Microsoft also announced that Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online will also be available from India data centres in the first half of 2016.
“Building an intelligent cloud is a key Microsoft strategy for global markets, including India. We deliver the most open, complete and secure enterprise-grade cloud services. Services from local data centres will open infinite computing capacity for Indian government departments, banks, telecom companies and enterprises or all sizes,” said Scott Guthrie, Executive Vice President, Microsoft Cloud and Enterprise Group
With the availability of commercial cloud service from local data centres, Microsoft expects public and hybrid cloud adoption to accelerate in India.
