Microsoft Azure

Many companies still have reservations when it comes to transitioning applications to the cloud. While primary concerns revolve around compromises to network security and availability, Microsoft Azure provides a scalable and flexible solution for companies that ensures network security and availability remain intact.

Microsoft developed Azure as a cloud platform to offer a convenient and accessible solution for building, managing, and deploying services and applications. It allows companies to incorporate cloud capabilities into their existing networks through two service models: Platform as a Service (PaaS) as a separate service or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) where Microsoft manages computing requirements. Both options ensure easy access and security for cloud-hosted data. Microsoft Azure continues to expand its range of services and products, enhancing its flexibility and convenience for users.

With Microsoft Azure, users can construct virtual networks and offer services globally. Whether Microsoft or Linux virtual machines, they can be quickly created using marketplace templates or custom machine images. These virtual machines serve as hosts for applications and services, simulating the experience of having them within a company’s local data center. Azure provides unlimited managed SQL relational databases, eliminating the need for additional hardware and software purchases, and the necessity for in-house expertise in database administration.

Azure’s Directory Domain servers, based on Windows Active Directory technology, enable users to remotely manage group policies and authentication. This simplifies the process of migrating existing security features to the cloud. While utilizing cloud computing promotes business growth and productivity, opting for Microsoft Azure can take businesses a step further in achieving their project goals.

Azure simplifies the management of application services as well. With Azure WebApps and Azure Marketplace, users can oversee the production, testing, and deployment of web applications. Applications created and managed through Azure can be easily deployed globally and are compatible with popular web and mobile platforms. Microsoft Azure also provides users with access to a reliable global infrastructure, ensuring secure and accessible data storage. Storing data and creating a dependable and cost-effective storage plan becomes straightforward and economical with Azure.
