Yesterday at their Professional Developers Conference in LA, Microsoft announced the launch of Azure their new cloud services platform and to support it, the www.azure.com site, which our team built. It's great to see a site which has such huge importance for a client go live, and that all the effort the team has put into making this happen as smoothly as possible is rewarded with a faultless delivery.

Looking at coverage this morning, Azure seems to have created a lot of buzz in the industry. Mary Jo Foley has a post titled "Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform: A guide for the perplexed" if you want a description.

Steve Clayton also has a good post in which he lists some of the Microsoft resources available.

Just to round off our involvement, Metia teams were also involved in producing customer reference materials (a tough assignment for a brand new service offering) and supporting analyst relations activity.
