Microsoft have released Windows Azure Services for Windows Server - https://www.microsoft.com/hosting/en/us/services.aspx. Now you can install basically the whole Azure control panel and IaaS platform on your own Windows Server 2012 boxes/VMs.

Update: Windows Azure Services has been renamed Windows Azure Pack.

It's not possible to install Windows Azure on your own hardware as Azure itself is intrinsically bound to the cloud (i.e. MS data centers), however, with the Azure SDK there is software which emulates the services within the cloud primarily for development.
