Microsoft Azure: Your tailored solution for intelligent applications and flexible cloud services

Microsoft Azure is a versatile cloud platform that adapts flexibly to your specific needs, budget and requirements. It enables the integration of various services, such as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and Azure Backup, into your IT infrastructure, while also offering the option to integrate Windows, Linux or SQL Server, web applications or pure data storage. Azure can be used fully in the cloud as well as in a hybrid configuration.

However, Azure goes far beyond the capabilities of a conventional cloud data centre – it is an optimal platform for developing intelligent applications.
With Azure, you can create data-driven, intelligent apps that enable new, scalable user experiences. Azure provides access to a wide range of data services and artificial intelligence, and also supports technologies such as deep learning, high-performance computing (HPC) and real-time analytics, which you can use to process any volume and type of data. With Azure, you can combine the best of Microsoft products and services with open-source data and AI innovations to create a solution perfectly tailored to your requirements.

Take advantage of an Azure cloud data centre

With Azure services hosted in Microsoft's data centres, you benefit from high availability, scalability and resilience alongside cost-effective operation. Azure dynamically adapts the scale of your system and service requirements, leading to more efficient resource utilization and cost savings.

Concerns about disaster recovery are a thing of the past, as these are included in the Azure service contract. In addition, direct responsibility for hardware monitoring and maintenance is eliminated. Within minutes, you can deploy new servers, virtual machines, services or applications. Health monitoring and load balancing are reliably carried out by the service provider, Microsoft Azure.

Cost efficiency with an Azure cloud data centre

The initial setup of Microsoft Azure is free of charge, delivering cost savings right at the start of your cloud transition. Furthermore, Azure offers per-second billing for resource and service usage, meaning you only pay for what you actually use. This flexibility ensures you do not provision unnecessary server resources, thereby reducing hardware and operating costs. Additionally, long-term contract commitments with Microsoft Azure are not required: contracts can be structured very flexibly, enabling further cost savings.

As a global company, Microsoft attaches great importance to environmental awareness and sustainability. All new data centres have an average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating of 1.125. This figure is a third lower than the industry average of 1.7, meaning Microsoft data centres operate with greater energy efficiency. By using Azure, you also make a positive contribution to the environment.

What benefits does using Microsoft Azure offer?

  • Flexibility

    Azure offers businesses the flexibility to structure their IT infrastructure and services without having to build up additional hardware resources and expertise. You only pay for the performance you consume and can scale capacity as required
