Modern platform for the world’s apps Windows Azure Pack 2013 provides a consistent platform experience for both on-premises and cloud deployments. It allows service providers to deliver Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings like virtual machines, databases, and messaging to customers through a self-service portal. Consumers can then consume these services on-demand through the portal and manage their resources and applications. The Windows Azure Pack framework provides common management experiences across different environments and services.
