Can we install a version of azure locally? In other words, can we manage an independent azure cloud? I am using the emulator. But I want a real azure system.

No, Azure is Microsoft's proprietary cloud infrastructure, and as far as I know, it's not for sale. |

You currently cannot install Azure locally. However Microsoft is working on an on-premises cloud offering, AKA - private cloud. I've no idea how much it will be, but if you want a local cloud you're looking at around $500k or more for a truly "cloud scale" and "cloud scaling" solution. Currently Azure is multiple data centers, multiple regions, and hundreds of thousands of machines. This is something that one (even a very LARGE corporation) can't just purchase and emulate. Thus the reason it isn't offered as an on-premises or local installation. |
