Microsoft is bringing its cloud computing to the traditionally underserved United Arab Emirates, with the opening of two data centres in Dubai and Germany. The move is part of a wider expansion of the company's cloud data centre presence around the world, as Microsoft seeks to compete with rivals, including Amazon and Google, and get cloud computing as close to the user as possible. The company is also building data centres in Switzerland and Abu Dhabi.
