Microsoft: Skype keeps running on Windows Azure; SkyDrive up next

Microsoft is proceeding to move a greater amount of its cloud administrations onto Windows Azure. The most recent in the line: Skype and SkyDrive.

Microsoft is proceeding to move a greater amount of its greatest cloud administrations onto its Windows Azure open cloud.

As per a December 16 post by The Register, which cites Corporate Vice President Scott Guthrie, Microsoft as of now has moved its Skype benefit onto Windows Azure.

In 2012, Microsoft executives affirmed they were moving piece of the Skype foundation to Microsoft-facilitated supernodes in Microsoft datacenters. Authorities wouldn't remark around then when I got some information about the working framework/condition on which they were facilitated.

In September of this current year, Microsoft executives said there were 50 billion minutes of Skype-to-Skype calls running on the Windows Azure cloud. Yet, again, they never said which parts of Skype's refreshed framework were really running on Windows Azure versus on different stages.

Guthrie additionally said in the new Register meet that Microsoft's SkyDrive distributed storage group is "decommissioning their old servers and moving everything onto Azure."

"All new capacity on SkyDrive currently goes to Azure," Guthrie revealed to The Reg.

Guthrie moved from the Developer division to the Windows Azure group in 2011.

Microsoft executives have said freely that Microsoft is constructing most, if not all, of its new cloud administrations and highlights to keep running on Windows Azure from the get-go. Be that as it may, Microsoft isn't planing to move the majority of its heritage cloud administrations -, for example, Hotmail/Outlook, Xbox Live and Bing - to Windows Azure. Rather, at any rate for the forseeable future, they'd keep on running in Microsoft's datacenters all alone committed servers, I was told.

(Also, before I get notification from anybody with bandy about Xbox Live and Azure, when I asked this fall, I was told just "partitions" of Xbox Live and different Xbox diversions – including all of Halo 4's online administrations - keep running on Windows Azure.)

Microsoft executives submitted quite a long while back to moving Office 365 to keep running on Windows Azure. While the Office 365 group coordinates with Azure highlights, for example, Windows Azure Active Directory (WAAD), Office 365 still doesn't keep running on Windows Azure, nor do its segment parts - SharePoint Online, Exchange Online or Lync Online. Microsoft CRM Online additionally utilizes WAAD, however supposedly, isn't facilitated on Windows Azure.

I approached Microsoft executives for affirmation that Skype is facilitated on Windows Azure and that the still-to-be-renamed SkyDrive is up straightaway. No word back up until this point.
