SDxCentral – Microsoft Rises From Irrelevance With Big Bet on Cloud
Microsoft, which not too long ago was facing irrelevance, is successfully riding the cloud to reestablish itself and brighten it prospects.
The company’s research and development efforts, the Playbook says, focus on AI, quantum computing, productivity tools, streaming cloud-based gaming, and networking. “Scaling the cloud requires not only more data centers, but also faster intra- and inter-data center connectivity links,” Menon wrote. “For instance, Microsoft is very active with the OIF in pushing 400ZR, a 400 Gbps link specification for data center interconnect.”
