The platform’s evolution was extremely fast culminating with getting two new big customers and a huge agreement with the U.S. Government. Nevertheless, Microsoft still aims even higher by trying to implement Azure on a Spanish satellite system.
What does the cloud has to do with satellites?
Microsoft filed an FCC request to test the connection between a Spanish imaging satellite named DEIMOS-2 to two ground stations at its data center from Quincy in Washington. The software giant aims to demonstrate that they can download satellite data to the Azure Cloud for immediate processing. This system reduces the time it takes to analyze satellite data from hours to minutes or even just seconds also saving customers a big percentage of the costs implied for the process. If Microsoft’s test will succeed, we will enter a new era of big data communication. What do you think about the new Microsoft Azure move? Leave your thoughts in the Comments section below.
