The US Army has awarded a $900 million contract to Microsoft to develop an advanced cloud computing system. The system, which will be used to enhance the US Army's cloud computing capabilities, is expected to significantly improve the US Army's ability to conduct cloud-based operations.

The Microsoft system will be able to conduct a variety of cloud-based operations, including data storage and analytics. The system will also be able to conduct cloud-based reconnaissance and surveillance missions, allowing the US Army to gather critical intelligence.
The system is expected to have a storage capacity of over 100 petabytes.
'The Microsoft system will be a critical component of the US Army's cloud computing capabilities,' said Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella.
