Azure

Cloud technologies are among the fastest growing. Azure is the leadeing one. It’s a multifunctional platform that enables flexible resources usage. It is one of the most popular cloud solutions. It allows you to move selected resources to the cloud and use them as required, saving money and effort.

What is Azure?

Azure is a cloud platform that connects more than 200 products and services. As a result, it offers tremendous usage opportunities. The provider of this solution is Microsoft. It is undoubtedly at the forefront in terms of innovation or capability, but also in terms of practical use. Microsoft Azure has been successfully used by many companies looking for flexibility and innovation.

The Microsoft Azure cloud is the solution for a growing business. Allow your company to anticipate, react, and adapt more quickly to changes occurring in the market. Gain a competitive advantage by investing in the latest technology. Take advantage of new opportunities through data migration and modernisation in order to accelerate the growth not only of your own organisation, but also of your customers.

The platform operates on a PaaS (Platform as a Service) model. It provides mechanisms for both data storage (Azure Storage, SQL Azure) and data processing (Azure Compute). It is built from a group of three technologies. These are:

  • Windows Azure – provides storage space and has a runtime environment for running applications on Windows Server or Linux systems;
  • SQL Azure – provides the ability to use a relational database implemented to run in the cloud;
  • Windows Azure Platform AppFabric – a component that provides additional functionality in a form of services.

It is worth noting here that the Azure platform can be used by both applications running locally on users’ computers and applications running in the cloud.

Microsoft Azure – opportunities

Microsoft Azure public cloud services can be used by any company. The platform is adapted to the needs of both small and large organisations, providing continuous access to computing resources and extensive tools, creating a comprehensive IT environment.Cloud computing responds to the demand for solutions that reduce an organisation’s operating costs with increased computing capacity in a cloud model. Among other things, it enables:

  • creating optimised server environments based on different platforms,
  • creation of applications of any type,
  • testing and hosting of applications,
  • data processing and analysis,
  • use of a serverless computing environment,
  • use of AI (artificial intelligence) solutions,
  • backup and disaster recovery,
  • the use of IoT (Internet of Things) solutions and much more.

The Microsoft Azure service is used by organisations with a diverse range of activities. It is used not only by developers and technology companies, but also in commerce, financial services, administration, manufacturing, multimedia, entertainment, healthcare, and many others. Azure’s capabilities are being used by many well-known brands such as Adobe (for, among other things, linking its services to MS Dynamics 365 and for data analytics) and HP (improving technical support with an AI). With the ability to utilise efficiency-enhancing solutions and services that allow data to be stored, analysed or secured – Azure is a versatile system that will work for any business, regardless of industry.
