Government Cloud Computing:
Microsoft’s Online Services in Government – It’s not a Destination, It’s Another Tool in your Toolbox
Microsoft has been providing cloud-based services for 20 years, starting with MSN, Windows Update and Hotmail. Microsoft provides the most comprehensive approach to cloud computing, so that you can harness the full power of the cloud on your terms. Whether in your datacenter, with a service provider, or from Microsoft’s datacenters—and whether in a private cloud, public cloud, or software as a service environment—Microsoft provides the flexibility and control to consume IT as a service, whichever way best meets your unique business needs.
