Microsoft Acquires StorSimple 

For the moment, we've got the fact: Microsoft has bought online storage service StorSimple, but for the moment financial terms or particular features weren't revealed. The deal gives Microsoft another tool perfect for corporate customers (using Windows Azure), willing to back up their data on computers managed by remote data centers, something that SkyDrive couldn't perform. Steve Ballmer's company tries in this way to get nearer to Oracle, promoting interactive and easy to use solution in cloud area.

StorSimple raised more than $31 million, since it was founded three years ago by former executives of Cisco Systems and Brocade Communications Systems. StorSimple has always been a Microsoft partner, but it ended up by merging inside the big company. According to StorSimple, this deal will reduce costs by up to 90%, including manufacturing or healthcare.
