Azure Nihon Data Center is an extremely short ONA, it's interesting to say the least to understand how Microsoft was learning to use anime characters to market their products in japan. It still doesn't feel like an advertisement, it's like an extremely short snippet from a larger tech anime, a scene where the Cloud helps Azure recover the system, i.e. "When Azure fails, use the Cloud". It's not that bad, it's a good advertisement. I.. have nothing more to say about it. I tried to edit my previous review but it's not updating on the site so I deleted it and I'm resending it.

Pretty short but it's a CM (54 seconds) about Azure data center (also a db system for .Net development for programmers). There is not much more to delve into. One more marketing strategy to sell this cloud DB service to Japan. As an interesting fact: The character of Claudia was created specifically for this commercial. However, some time later a software was developed to take advantage of the character. This app is called [Claudia Madobe Timer], it is basically a desktop clock. PS: As MAL asks me for a longer review, I must also say that Azure since 2015 (approx) has been included in the complete programming framework (development of softawares, apps and websites) of Visual Studio, being the workhorse by part of Microsoft to compete against Java (Oracle).
