AZURE SCHWEIZ
Last year, Microsoft was pleased to announce that it will expand its huge network with two Microsoft Azure data centers in Geneva and Zurich. The cloud services offered from Switzerland, such as Azure, Office 365 and Dynamics 365, are of particular interest to companies and organizations that work with sensitive data, such as the financial or healthcare sector, the public sector and the strong NGO sector in Switzerland. Storing data in Switzerland offers a further control option and helps companies and institutions to meet regulatory requirements.
The commissioning of the two data centers went according to plan and the first services are already available.
