FAQs: Azure cloud
What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s public cloud computing platform. It offers a wide range of cloud services, including virtual computing, storage, networking, databases, AI and more. Azure provides scalability, security, and flexibility, enabling businesses to grow without expensive on-premises infrastructure.
How do I find out if Azure is the right solution for my business?
The best public cloud for your business depends on your technology environment and business needs. There is no one-size-fits-all solution here; it is unique to each company.
We will help you decide the right cloud platform for your business, starting with a Cloud Navigator Assessment, where we will evaluate ‘where you are now’ and ‘where you want to be’ to deliver on your cloud objectives. This is based on your technical requirements, recurring costs of using the platform and funding availability. We will then build a transition plan, high-level design and a pricing model with a quantifiable business case supporting your cloud strategy.
As a top 4% Microsoft Partner globally, we get exclusive funding opportunities from Microsoft as part of its Azure Migrate and Modernisation Program (AMMP) that are not available to other partners. That means you get this consulting workshop and guidance from our experts free of cost. Contact us for an initial discussion.
