We’re pleased to announce that we’re working with Microsoft to bring the Slock.it Đapp to the Microsoft Azure Cloud , powered by Ethereum. Microsoft has heavily invested in their cloud infrastructure, now leveraged by thousands of large corporate partners to deploy countless applications, ranging from machine learning to data warehousing — and now, interacting with the decentralized sharing/collaborative economy. For Slock.it UG, this means unprecedented exposure to ‘mainstream IT’ and new potential partners in our mission to grow the DAO ecosystem. For the DAO , it means expanding its serviceable available market to include thousands of new channels across a variety of verticals it could only have dreamed of a few short weeks ago.
