Microsoft has announced that the Azure Solutions site has been launched on Azure.com. This new site will enable partners and customers to easily find information on cloud solutions that can be built in Azure. The information provided on cloud solutions is served up via customer “stories,” quick links to apps available on the Azure Marketplace, links to solutions partners, enterprise ready templates, starter kits, and more. The following are the solution areas available on the new site, as well as a brief description of each:
