Microsoft ventures into space-based data centre with LEOcloud

BATS:MSFT   MICROSOFT CORP
Microsoft Corp. is embarking on an innovative project to test a miniaturised data centre aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This initiative is part of a collaboration with startup LEOcloud, Sierra Space, Microsoft IT, and Red Hat. The objective is to establish a functioning cloud service infrastructure in space, a goal that Microsoft is already advancing through its existing space-based communications and computing services.

LEOcloud aims to deploy the small data centre to the ISS by the end of 2025 to evaluate its performance in supporting cloud services directly from space. This concept holds immense promise for applications such as Earth remote sensing (ERS), where data can be processed directly on satellites, and would significantly reduce the volume of data transmitted back to Earth, thereby enhancing the speed and efficiency of data delivery to end-users.

Assessing potential trading opportunities, let’s review the technical analysis of Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT):

On the Daily (D1) timeframe, Microsoft’s stock established a resistance level at 430.80 USD and support at 414.25 USD. Currently, a correction in the uptrend is noticeable. If a downtrend develops, the potential downside target could be 340.00 USD.

Conversely, if the uptrend resumes and the stock price breaks through the resistance at 430.80 USD, a short-term buying opportunity might arise with a target of 448.00 USD. If the upward trend continues, the price could ascend to 470.00 USD for a medium-term investment outlook.
