Benefits of Azure

Scalability

The cloud is completely scalable. With Azure, you only pay for what you need. You can scale up or scale down depending on your changing business requirements.

Time

Go to market with new offerings without having to wait weeks or months to acquire servers. Spin-up virtual machines in Azure in minutes. Reduce lengthy IT administration tasks using Azure's host of monitoring and management tools.

Reliability

Azure provides extremely high availability with a 99.9% SLA. With Azure Site Recovery you can rest assured knowing that you'll have business continuity by using Azure as a secondary site in case your primary data centre suffers an outage.

Hybrid cloud

Microsoft have invested heavily in creating the leading consistent hybrid cloud. With Azure, you can develop and deploy where you want. You can extend Azure to your on-premise environments using Azure Stack.

Security

Utilise enterprise-grade security tools and services and benefit from comprehensive advanced threat protection, underpinned by machine learning and AI. Your data is always protected with state-of-the-art physical security.

Affordability

Pay monthly for what you use and save on capital infrastructure expenditure, maintenance costs, energy consumption and office space. Focus on your IT projects, rather than expensive and time-consuming hardware maintenance.

Cloud Readiness

A cloud readiness assessment is a critical first step in your cloud-adoption journey and helps inform the production of a cloud migration plan. Through a discovery process, we help you analyse your on-premise infrastructure, apps and data in order to map your on-premise applications. This allows you to evaluate which applications should be moved to the cloud and we advise on the optimal approaches to do so.

We also offer an Azure Proof-of-Concept (POC), allowing you to de-risk your cloud investment and experience the benefits of Azure with your systems and data before embarking on a full-scale project.

Migration

Our migration services allow you to confidently move your apps, data and infrastructure to the cloud. We help you plan your migration and can support various levels of modernisation during migration.

Performance and Cost Optimisation

Moving from on-premise to the cloud, can result in significant cost savings if implemented correctly. However, without performance and cost optimisation, cloud sprawl and wasted budgets can quickly reduce your ROI.

We work with you to ensure that your virtual assets are performing well and that you're not paying for over-provisioning and under-utilised resources or waste. We help you explore cost optimisation of your cloud estate, advising on a variety of cost-optimisation methods—ensuring you get the maximum business value from your cloud investment.
