Talon. "Talon fully supports Microsoft's approach to file sharing and
we're excited to debut our latest offering, CloudFAST to the audience at
AzureCon."

branch offices, caching data only when it is active. CloudFAST
deployment on Windows Server and Hyper-V in the branch is transparent,
easy to manage, and extensible. Azure runs on a worldwide network of Microsoft-managed datacenters across 24 regions, allowing for a massive scale for global organizations.
