[dba-Tech] If you're looking for an MS Windows VPS cloud solution this one is good. Tested.

 Hi Jim --

I'm note sure what visualization technology OVH uses, probably VMWare.
I have used several MS Windows Server 2008 Standard VMs running on OVH ( http://www.ovh.ie ) cloud.
They can be accessed via MS Windows Remote Desktop -  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/connect-using-remote-desktop-connection#connect-using-remote-desktop-connection=windows-7

With broadband Internet connection this ovh.ie cloud VM's Remote Desktop connection works/responds almost as speedy as a usual local MS Windows desktop.
As far as I see OVH.IE VMs I'm accessing are running in Canada and I'm located in St.Petersburg, Russia.

Here are some stats on ovh.ie / ovh.com - http://www.ovh.ie/aboutus/ovh-in-figures.xml

Thank you.

>How does this all work with a Linux server, an Apache web-server and MS windows on top? What is the Microsoft middle tier product that encapsulates the VS code? is this the Azure cloud we have been hearing about? So can anyone buy and deploy a full backend Cloud server or is all just these just docker style images.
