Today at its Build developer conference, Microsoft detailed a number of statistics to highlight the capability of its Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) technology.
Azure has 18 data centers, and over 100 colocation installations, Satay Nadella, the head of Microsoft’s Server and Tools division said during his keynote talk. That network of linked computers helps to power, among other first and third-party usage, Skype’s 299 million users, the “nearly” 50 million Office Web Apps users, and 1 billion mobile notifications from Bing per month.
