The company is focusing more on a "software-defined everything" approach in the next version of Windows Server, currently codenamed Windows Server vNext.

At the same time, Microsoft is bringing Azure-like orchestration capabilities to enterprise customers that want it, and emphasising the consistency between Windows Server and Azure when it comes to developing a hybrid cloud strategy.

"It's all about bringing the cloud goodness to your data centre," said Chris Van Wesep, technical marketing manager for Windows Server and Management.
