Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure is a growing collection of integrated cloud services – analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking, storage and web.
Simply put Microsoft Azure is Microsofts Cloud Computing platform. While Office 365 is a combination of various pre-defined software services running in the Cloud (SaaS), Azure is much more. Azure allows us to “hire” out processors, memory, storage & databases all running in Microsoft globally redundant data centers. This makes it infinitely more flexible than other Cloud providers.

What can we use it for?
- We can utilise Azure for multiple projects, the sky is literally the limit. A single server can be hosted in the cloud, or you can run your whole business from it.
- We can back up the data from your on premise servers to Azure. Want more than just data backup? We can replicate your on premise virtual servers to Azure every 15 minutes. Meaning you can be sure in a disaster that your business carries on.
- We can take on premise applications, and host them in Azure, making them available 24/7 from anywhere in the world.
Why Azure?
- It’s super flexible
- It’s amazingly scalable
- It’s got security and redundancy built in
- It saves you money
