Microsoft Azure is an adaptable technology platform, that can power your applications, file storage and disaster recovery needs. Azure provides a cyber secure and reliable platform to build out your technology suite.

Adaptability

With business requirements constantly changing, your technology suite must keep up. Azure provides the adaptability to spin up and remove cloud servers quickly. You can scale up and scale down your business workloads, all based on Microsoft’s enterprise level technology platforms.

Financial savings

Microsoft Azure presents the ability to scale up or down faster than most other platforms, and allows you to only pay for what you consume.

Completely outsourced IT

Utilising cloud servers through Azure means you may not need servers onsite. This means you can have a truly outsourced, subscription based technology setup. We can create your Microsoft Azure environment and manage it completely for you.

Technology as you need it

Do you need to increase your server resources temporarily, or perhaps you need to reduce them for a couple of months. Azure gives you the flexibility to add and remove resources as you require them.

FAQs

Both platforms are great and offer different benefits. This discussion should be around what you need cloud services for. If you are already using or planning to use other Microsoft services, generally Azure will be the better choice.
One of the great things about utilising large scale cloud platforms, like Azure, is you are accessing enterprise grade technology for a fraction of the cost. Microsoft invest billions of dollars into their infrastructure, giving you access to security technology that you may not otherwise have had.
