Windows Azure Storage Part II — Queues
Tejaswi Redkar · Apress eBooks · 2009
The Windows Azure Queue service is an Internet-scale message queuing system for cross-service communications.

The design focus of the Queue service is on providing a highly scalable and available asynchronous message communication system that’s accessible anywhere, anytime. The Queue service provides a REST API for applications to use the large-scale Queue service infrastructure. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
