Microsoft India on Tuesday said that it is launching its commercial cloud services from local data centres in India. The company has opened three data centres in Pune, Chennai and Mumbai.

The company said millions of users already use Microsoft cloud services but with the availability of local cloud services, regulated industries such as banking and financial institutions, government departments and state owned enterprises will now be able to take advantage of the public cloud services.

Bhaskar Pramanik, Chairman, Microsoft India, said, "The hyper-scale cloud will empower governments, businesses and users and offer enough computing power that will support all their existing workloads."
