Microsoft dangles new server and cloud pricing offer for enterprise users

[anuseems]

Microsoft is adding a new Server and Cloud Enrollment option to its price list for enterprise users

From All About Microsoft:

Right on cue, on November 1, Microsoft introduced a new option to its Enterprise Agreement licensing plan that "allows highly committed customers to standardize broadly on one or more key Server and Cloud technologies from Microsoft."

Microsoft officials said last month that these enterprise discounts, slated to go live on November 1, "will be better than Amazons on commodity services like compute, storage and bandwidth." The new discounts will run alongside Microsoft's current guarantee that it will match Amazon.com's prices on compute, storage and bandwidth.

This new Server and Cloud Enrollment (SCE) offers users a subscription option for not just cloud, but also on-premises Microsoft software, including Windows Server, System Center, SQL Server, BizTalk Server, SharePoint Server and Visual Studio.
