At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. The media industry exemplifies this mission; We live in an age where more content is being created and consumed in more ways and on more devices than ever.

Staying connected to access and ingest data in today’s highly distributed application environments is paramount for any operation.

Today, we’re announcing the availability of Azure in our new cloud regions in Germany.

As cloud growth continues to unlock opportunities for our customers, cloud migration is increasingly important for business’s digital strategy. Today, I am pleased to announce that Microsoft has acquired Movere, an innovative technology provider in the cloud migration space.
