Microsoft Investment in the Cloud

Now they run over 200 cloud services, spanning a range of end uses from Azure to Xbox. They have one of the most extensive and connected cloud networks in the world with 100 data centers in 54 regions, 70,000 miles of fiber and 130 edge sites. Microsoft offers complete SaaS (Office 365, Dynamics 365 & LinkedIn), PaaS, IaaS and hybrid cloud with over 600 Azure products. More than 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies use Azure, which has over 70 certifications—more than any other cloud service provider. They also spend more than about $1 Billion on cyber security every year.

With over 1,000 award-winning computer scientists, physicists, engineers and mathematicians, the Microsoft researchers are developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other innovative technologies.
