Your company perhaps isn't that huge. I could imagine that for huge companies, it's an advantage not to maintain their own server farms all over the world, but instead to pay for a company doing it for them. This is not my domain, I don't know how secure, or insecure this approach is, compared to maintaining internal server farms all over the world, but it's easy to imagine that regarding costs and maintenance huge companies could have reasons to pay for such a service bundle. However, while https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Azure#Privacy sounds insecure, owning intern server farms, could suffer from the same issues. Regards, Ralf
