What can Microsoft Azure do for your business?

Businesses use Microsoft Azure for many different capabilities and scenarios, from basic computer networking and storage, to mobile and web app services and full cloud scenarios like Internet of Things. Microsoft Azure can be used with many open source technologies, and deployed as hybrid cloud or hosted within a customer’s own data centre.

What types of businesses need Microsoft Azure?

As a cloud platform, Azure is perfectly suited to SMEs and mid-market businesses with a mobile workforce. Being a very flexible platform, that’s billed with a ‘pay for what you use’ structure, it’s great for businesses looking to rapidly expand in a short period of time as it omits any future limitations for fast growth. There is also a multitude of product options housed with the Azure platform such as Office 365 and the Enterprise Mobility Suite to name a few.

Microsoft Azure International Data Centres

Microsoft Azure provides businesses with the data security and privacy, control, and transparency they require. Confidential data is the lifeblood of any company, and protecting it from compromise is mission-critical. Microsoft have 30 regions around the world and has announced plans for 8 additional regions. Having these Microsoft Cloud regions will help business in industries, such as banking government, public sector and health care meet the requirements of local data residency as the Microsoft Cloud stores your data both securely and locally.

How secure is Microsoft Azure?

Security and privacy are built right into the Azure platform, beginning with the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) that addresses security at every development phase from initial planning to launch, and Azure is continually updated to make it even more secure. Operational Security Assurance (OSA) builds on SDL knowledge and processes to provide a framework that helps ensure secure operations throughout the lifecycle of cloud-based services.
