Today, I’m excited to announce the preview of the next generation of Azure VMware Solution, designed, built, and supported by Microsoft in close partnership with VMware.

It’s incredible how much and how rapidly technology evolves. Microsoft’s server technology is no exception. We entered the 2008 release cycle with a shift from 32-bit to 64-bit computing, the early days of server virtualization and advanced analytics.

Azure Reserved VM Instances (RIs) are generally available for customers worldwide, effective today.

As part of our continued commitment to deliver Azure to customers at the best possible prices, effective October 1st, we are lowering prices on many of our most popular virtual machines (VMs).

I’m excited to share today new programs and innovations across our enterprise cloud portfolio to help partners achieve even more for their customers. Most importantly, I’m excited to share how partners and customers are already changing the world with the Microsoft Cloud.

Today, the Microsoft Cloud takes another leap forward in our mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

On the second day of Convergence EMEA, Microsoft’s three-day, Europe-based business conference, we continue to highlight new features, capabilities and partners that deliver on Microsoft’s promise to enable business transformation through innovative productivity tools and business applications.

Today at WPC we made a number of significant technology and program announcements to help our customers capitalize on the incredible opportunities provided by big data, advanced analytics and cloud computing.
