Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that provides a wide range of services for educational institutions. With Microsoft Azure, schools and universities can complete cloud computing tasks at any scale and on-demand using a pay-as-you-go plan. Azure is ideal for educational institutions because it gives them the computing power of enterprise-level businesses without putting strain on their limited budgets1
