What a Top Secret Cloud Means for Microsof
• https://www.nextgov.com By Brandi VincentMicrosoft said on Monday that its new cloud service designed explicitly for some of the most sensitive federal data is cleared to handle government workloads at all classification levels.
The Azure Government Top Secret platform, which was first unveiled among a suite of new products in December, is generally available to agency customers as of this week. It underpins more than 60 initial services now, with others in the pipeline.
"One of the things we think is different about what we're doing is we're bringing commercial technology at commercial speed into our Top Secret cloud and keeping that up-to-date and fresh with the same innovation that our commercial customers get at the same speed that they get it," Microsoft's Corporate Vice President of Azure Global Tom Keane told Nextgov in an interview last week.
Keane published a blog post on Monday that sheds light on the tech giant's new cloud capabilities.
