Mike Austin explains what Microsoft’s Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program is — a purchase channel for Microsoft cloud services outside the Enterprise Agreement — and contrasts it with the Enterprise Agreement. He notes a recent change allowing on-premise products (primarily Windows and SQL Server) to be purchased via CSP, and gives examples of online services previously available via CSP (EMS, Visio Online, audio conferencing).

But really, what is csp? It is a way to purchase cloud services from Microsoft that is outside of the Enterprise agreement, and I'm going to go into the nuances of it in a little bit. They have just recently announced that you can purchase some on premise products, primarily Windows and SQL Server through the CSP program, where before it was just kind of O365 and Azure or the various online subscriptions. So I could buy the EMS products or Visio online or audio conferencing, so any of those sort of online services. But they have added Windows and SQL Server to it just recently.
