Microsoft collaborates with SpaceX
By MYBRANDBOOK
In order to connect Azure cloud computing network to the growing Starlink satellite internet service offered by Elon Musk’s company, Microsoft is partnering with SpaceX.
Starlink is an ambitious plan of SpaceX to build an interconnected internet network with thousands of satellites, designed to deliver high-speed internet to anywhere on the planet.
“The collaboration that we’re announcing today will allow us to work together to deliver new offerings for both the public and the private sector to deliver connectivity through Starlink for use on Azure,” SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell said. “Where it makes sense, we will work with [Microsoft]: co-selling to our mutual customers, co-selling to new enterprise and future customers.”
With this partnership, Microsoft will get high-speed, low latency satellite broadband for its Azure Modular Datacenter from SpaceX Starlink. It is mentioned in a blog post that with the new move, Microsoft aims to “make Azure the platform and ecosystem of choice for the mission needs of the space community.”
Microsoft has brought together a team of space industry veterans to work alongside its product engineers and scientists to build cloud capabilities that suit the needs of space exploration. “Our innovation areas include simulating space missions, discovering insights from satellite data, and fuelling innovation both on the ground and in orbit,” the company said.
Microsoft also said that along with Azure's high-performance computing, machine learning, and data analytics abilities, the resilient satellites will open new opportunities for both public and private sector organisations.
“Our approach is to supply a multi-orbit, multi-band, multi-vendor, cloud-enabled capability to bring comprehensive satellite connectivity solutions to meet the needs of our customers,” the company said in the post.
