Microsoft Azure is a cloud services platform that gives businesses the ability to access off-site servers and data centers. It offers powerful cloud computing and networking abilities and Azure storage platforms to meet organizational cloud requirements. Azure hosting enables businesses to build, deploy and manage applications, data, and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters in over 36 regions worldwide.
The benefits of choosing the Azure Cloud include:
Cost-Efficiency and Scalability
Pay monthly for what you use and save on capital infrastructure expenditure, maintenance costs, energy consumption, and office space. With Azure, you can focus on your IT projects rather than expensive and time-consuming hardware maintenance.
Microsoft Azure’s pay-as-you-go payment plan also allows you to grow and scale at your own pace. Whether you’re a small business or a multi-location organization looking for advanced features and functionality, our Microsoft Azure consultants can help you create the perfect scalable solution that suits your current situation and leave room for your growth in the future.
High Availability
Compared to any other cloud service provider, Microsoft has a vast global footprint, which means Azure can provide a Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.95% for its customers – the large number of data centers located across the globe ensures greater redundancy. The high availability of Azure cloud storage facilities makes it easier for your business to migrate your data and applications where you want them to be, rapidly develop, deploy, and manage applications using the tools and open-source technologies you already rely on, and effortlessly adjust your applications and usage to meet your needs.
All-in-One IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
Azure offers Infrastructure, Platform, and Software as a Service capability, making it extremely versatile. Customers can migrate their entire infrastructure to Azure, develop and host applications and software in Azure, or access and customize Microsoft SaaS applications in Azure – or any combination of those three options.
Hybrid Flexibility
Azure offers unmatched flexibility for small or large companies that may not be ready to go all-in on the cloud. Companies can choose which databases and applications provide the best cloud benefits while remaining on-premises everywhere else. Orion Networks can run pilot cloud projects so your organization can test your cloud readiness in specific departments.
Security and Compliance
Microsoft provides the best security and protection for all the data held on the Azure cloud. Multi-level protection, multiple compliance certifications, cybersecurity controls, and threat mitigation practices of Microsoft Azure management ensure a higher level of security within the cloud environment. In addition to its comprehensive security policies, the Azure cloud platform also meets international industry-specific standards such as ISO 27001 and HIPAA. It has also been recognized as the most trusted cloud for US and Canadian government institutions.
Instant Insights
Using Microsoft Azure’s intelligent advanced analytics features, you can turn your data into an advantage to detect anomalies, predict behaviors, and make smart recommendations across your organization. Azure combines data warehousing and big data analytics—from serverless or provisioned resources—through a single, cloud-native analytics service, delivering critical business insights.
