China Mobile, Microsoft Reach Cloud Computing Agreement

China Mobile and Microsoft have reached a deal to jointly promote the application of cloud computing technologies.

Under the memorandum of understanding signed by the two parties, China Mobile and Microsoft will start cloud computing cooperation in various fields, including technology, marketing and services. Their cooperation will cover cloud computing; construction of optimized channels; joint marketing; comprehensive corporate information solutions; optimized support and operation management; mobile phone terminals; future technology development and industry standards; and energy saving initiatives.
