Microsoft Corp. will build data centers in India to tap demand for cloud-based computing as it plans to offer its Azure and Office 365 services in the world’s second-most populous nation.
Azure, which lets businesses access computing resources and run programs via the Internet, will be available from local data centers by the end of 2015, Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella told reporters in New Delhi today. Office 365, a cloud-based subscription version of Microsoft’s productivity programs, will be available at the same time, he said.
