Your trusted Cloud
Today, many companies still have real concerns about migrating applications to the cloud. Fears about network security, availability and potential downtime sometimes hold decision-makers back, paralyzing organizations and keeping them away from existing technologies.
Microsoft Azure is the industry-leading solution for moving to a partially or fully cloud-based architecture. Azure is the best way to get complete, actionable visibility so your organization can react quickly to opportunities.
An intelligent cloud
Microsoft has leveraged its ever-expanding global network of data centers to create Azure, a cloud-based platform for building, deploying and managing services and applications, from anywhere.
Azure lets you add Cloud functionality to your existing network with its Platform as a Service (PaaS) model, or entrust Microsoft with all your IT and network needs with its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
Each of these options provides secure, reliable access to your Cloud, based on Microsoft's proven architecture.
Azure offers an ever-expanding range of products and services designed to meet all your needs on a practical, easy-to-manage platform.
Build the virtual network that's right for you
Microsoft maintains a growing repertoire of Azure services. Everything you need to build a virtual network and deliver services or applications to your employees is available:
VIRTUAL MACHINES
Create Microsoft or Linux virtual machines in minutes from a wide selection of market templates or your own customized machine images.
These cloud VMs will host your applications and services as if they were resident in your own data center.
VIRTUAL DATABASES
Azure offers SQL relational databases, from one to an unlimited number, as a service.
This saves you overheads and expenses on hardware, software and the need for in-house expertise.
AZURE ACTIVE DIRECTORY DOMAIN SERVICES
Built on the same technology as Windows Active Directory, this Azure service lets you remotely manage group policy, authentication and everything else.
This makes moving an existing security structure partially or totally to the Cloud as easy as a few clicks.
STORAGE AREAS
Rely on Microsoft’s global infrastructure to provide secure, highly accessible data storage.
With scalability and an intelligent pricing structure that allows you to store data at low cost, building a secure, cost-effective storage plan is extremely simple in Microsoft Azure.
APPLICATION SERVICES
With Azure, it’s easier than ever to create and deploy applications on a global scale that are compatible on all popular web and mobile platforms.
Reliable, scalable cloud access means you can react quickly to changes in your business, saving time and money.
With the introduction of Azure WebApps to the Azure Marketplace, it’s easier than ever to manage the production, testing and deployment of web applications that evolve as quickly as your business.
VISUAL STUDIO TEAM SERVICES
A complementary service available under Azure, Visual Studio, offers a complete application lifecycle management (ALM) solution in the Microsoft Cloud.
Developers can share and track code changes, perform load testing and deliver applications to production while collaborating in Azure from anywhere in the world.
Visual Studio team services simplifies development and delivery for large enterprises or start-ups building a portfolio of services.
