We continue to lease and acquire DC capacity quickly, especially in fast-growing markets, working closely with datacenter operators in each region and globally.   As part of our cloud strategy, Microsoft is committed to delivering and operating reliable DCs through our build program and by collaborating with third-party strategic partners (lessors) to expand our cloud footprint.
