A place where anyone can easily access books, music, photos, videos, and any data from anywhere at any time through mobile phones, tablets, personal computers, and smart devices. Have you ever wanted a universally accessible storage system to record all knowledge, preserve creative works, and store scientific data for global collaboration? Do you want to be part of a team that strives to make this vision a reality? If so, the Microsoft Azure Storage team is what you are looking for.
