Data as a Service, also known as DaaS, is increasingly becoming a popular solution for data analytics, storage, and management as more companies are modernizing their infrastructures through the cloud.

Azure is a cloud platform for creating, deploying and managing virtualized solutions that are hosted by Microsoft servers.
