First Post: Microsoft Office 365 now available from Indian datacentres
Two weeks after making Azure available locally in its three Indian datacentres, Microsoft has now announced locally hosted Office 365 services in India. “With the launch of our three new datacentres in India, Office 365 becomes the first global commercial cloud service to provide productivity and collaboration services from within India,” Rajesh Jha, Corporate Vice President for the Office 365 team, said. With the local data centres, Microsoft will be able to offer a locally hosted model which will address the data privacy for compliant and regulated industries such as BFSI and the government.
