The Microsoft Azure™ Marketplace is an online market for buying and selling finished Software as a Service (SaaS) applications and premium datasets. Microsoft Azure Marketplace not only helps connect corporations seeking innovative cloud-based solutions with partners, like VIDIZMO, who have developed solutions that are ready to use, but also helps them to leverage their existing Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft to launch products in their machines within minutes. This also allows customers to utilize their pre-purchased Microsoft Azure Account subscription from Microsoft, under a negotiated low rate for CPU, storage, encoding, and bandwidth.


This article will walk you through the process of deploying your VIDIZMO Virtual Machine in your Microsoft Azure Cloud from the Azure Marketplace.
