Microsoft is going to proceed with renaming the service cloud computing, from "Windows Azure»To«Microsoft Azure", In one release of the service from Windows branding.
The revelation was made by the website ZDNet, which notes that its new name platforms will start to be used from April 3, while the official announcements are expected on the first day of the Build conference, in San Francisco.
The renaming of the Azure platform and its "removal" from Windows also seems to reflect the intention to make clear that the cloud computing platform is more widely available than operating systems. Besides, Azure is one of Microsoft's successful products, mainly because it has no limitations on operating systems.
Microsoft's Azure cloud computing platform allows developers to build, deploy and manage cloud applications. The platform also supports work on Linux operating systems, while also supporting the Xbox One platform.
This move is in perfect harmony with the initial statements of the company's new CEO, Satya Nadella, who had emphasized that Microsoft will have a future that permeates platforms and operating systems. In addition, the practical support of an open ecosystem of applications for devices and services entails renaming services to be and appear "open" to all. The upcoming announcement of the suite is part of the same strategic shift of the companyMicrosoft Office on iPad».
