Microsoft's Azure moving out of Washington
PC World | at | by Mike
Microsoft will soon move its Azure services off its data center in Washington, due to changes in the way such facilities are taxed in the state. In a blog post earlier this week, the company informed early users of the Azure platform that they'll need to move their applications off the data center located in Quincy, Washington.
Microsoft said it will soon offer users an automated tool that will help them migrate to its Southwest data center, most likely a reference to one in San Antonio, Texas. "This change is in preparation for our migration out of the northwest region," the blog post reads.
