What is Microsoft Azure and what does it offer?

    Microsoft Azure is a public cloud computing platform, with solutions including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) that can be used for services such as analytics, virtual computing, storage, networking and much more.

     

    This computing platform, created by Microsoft, offers you the security you need to know that your company and customer data will be safe in the cloud, backed by a community of experts.

     

    Why is Azure attractive to companies?

     

    Developers like working with Azure because it allows for more secure coding, testing, and shipping from cloud developer environments. In addition, it allows you to deploy and scale applications with cloud-native technology and fully managed databases.

     

    Characteristic

     

    • Data resiliency. All data stored in Azure will have a minimum of three copies stored in the same center. This is called locally redundant storage.
    • Security. Security in Microsoft Azure is built in at different levels and can be customized based on customer requirements.
    • BCDR integration. Storage in Azure integrates directly with your Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BCDR) strategy, with options for backup and disaster recovery.
    • Capacity management. Microsoft Azure offers a hybrid architecture storage solution called StorSimple that helps address this challenge.
