Microsoft Azure is an industry-leading cloud computing platform allowing businesses to run critical functions without reliance upon costly onsite hardware, such as desktop environments, user directory services, storage, and web applications.
Subscribers can rely on Azure for all their commercial IT needs or operate a ‘hybrid’ setup that combines cloud functionality with on-premise hardware, such as servers, workstations, and storage devices.
Lower your costs with less upfront expenditure. Azure works on a subscription and PAYG model, meaning you only pay for what you consume.
Easily scale up or down with the needs of the organisation.
Microsoft is considered the most trusted cloud. Built-in, multi-layered security and compliance certifications make it a top choice for high-risk industries such as healthcare, finance, and government.
Azure is a comprehensive toolbox that can help solve more of the challenges your customers present to you, but we recognise it takes time to understand. Our Professional Services specialists are here to take your offering further and help you deliver the services you’re not ready to deliver yourself yet.
“It's quick to deploy. It does what it says on the tin. If you get your head around the imaging and how it all plugs together. I honestly don't know why you'd use anything else.”
Microsoft Azure delivers over 200 services across computing, networking, storage, IoT, migration, artificial intelligence, security, databases, and web services.
The most popular ways we have seen our partners adopt Azure are through Infrastructure Migrations and Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD).
Built with security in mind. Backed by experts and with proactive compliance that start-ups trust through to the most heavily regulated organisations.
Whether your customers work on-premises or in the cloud, you can integrate and manage their environments with tools and services specifically designed for a hybrid cloud solution.
Build how you want and deploy where you want to with Microsoft’s commitment to open source and support for all languages and frameworks.
Microsoft is a continuous innovator, allowing you to develop today whilst supporting your transformations of the future.
