Is it possible to host a Windows Application to be hosted in Windows Azure cloud service provided by Microsoft.

Please Note:
Our application basically uploads data into database and then other part of the application will take that data and send it to the hardware (which is connected to the PC through USB Ports). So, will even this kind of applications are well suited for WINDOWS AZURE compliant

There is a beta program in Azure to let you host a full VM in the cloud. But since you need to connect to some hardware, I would think overall the answer would be no.

You could put your database and the part of the app that stores data to that database into a worker role or maybe a WCF web service. Then your local app would just have to call into the service to save the data off. This is similar to what I do for some data for a set of mobile apps that I have made.
