I hear a lot about Microsoft Cloud infrastructure and securing it is certainly important to many applications. However, I could not figure whether this infrastructure is ready and being offered as a service now like the Amazon EC2, which we have been using for a while. I appreciate any pointers.

Hi Alex,
I cannot answer your question THAT eaisly as you cannot compare the services 1:1: It depends, what you are really after:
We offer direct access not unlike EC2 via Business Productivity Online Standard (BPOS - http://www.microsoft.com/online/default.mspx) either as “Infrastructure as a service” or “Application as a service”. Windows Azure is our “Platform as a service” offering which sits between the other two. If you are looking for a service, it is BPOS, if you are looking for the plattform, it is Windows Azure
