Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform for building, deploying and managing services and applications from anywhere any time. With Azure one could add cloud computing capabilities to their existing network through PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) or IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) model to explore the IaaS architecture of Microsoft Azure, thereby optimizing the Windows server workloads and implements enterprise applications architecture on the Azure platform.

Benefits of Cloud Computing/Service :

• Cost Effective - Pay as you go.
• Global Scale - Increase or Decrease Service anytime geographic location)

• Security - Cloud providers offering a broad set of policies, technologies and controls security to protect your data, apps and infrastructure from potential threats.
• Speed - Cloud computing services are provided self service and on demand, Huge amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in minutes, in just a few mouse clicks, giving businesses a lot of flexibility and taking the pressure off capacity planning.
• Productivity - On-site datacenters require a lot of “racking and stacking”—hardware setup, software patching, and other time-consuming IT management chores. Cloud computing removes these tasks, so IT teams can spend time on achieving more important business goals.
