Windows Azure

Does anyone use Windows Azure?

Our Partner Network Account comes with Server Essentials 2012 and a basic account for Windows Azure.

I can't quite grasp the purpose of it, where does it come in re. SkyDrive and SharePoint?

Is it a cloud *backup* solution or a cloud *storage* solution or both?

i.e. As an SME can we store all our data on the physical server hardware and automatically backup everything using Azure integrated into Server Essentials?

Ah ha, so it does mirror your local data automatically?

so Paradigm when you a duplicate, you edit/revise a file locally and the revision is illustrated both locally and in the cloud through Azure?
