How Microsoft Azure can help your business

Microsoft Azure allows for the development, deployment, and management of applications hosted on a global infrastructure while continuing to use your favorite tools and frameworks. This platform can drive digital transformation and modernization of your business.

Azure is a public cloud computing platform that offers solutions such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). These solutions can be used for analytics, virtual computing, storage, networking, and more. It can be used to replace or complement on-premises servers.

Azure is a flexible, fast, accessible, and economical platform, as you only pay for what you use! Discover how Azure can be useful for your business:

• Improve and implement backup and disaster recovery

Azure is an ideal backup and disaster recovery tool due to its flexibility, advanced site recovery, and built-in integration. With Azure, it is possible to back up all data, in almost any language, on any operating system, and from any location. Additionally, you can set the frequency and extent of the backup schedule (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.).
 

• Host and develop Web and Mobile applications

Whether you are looking for a platform to host, develop, or manage a web or mobile application, Azure makes these applications autonomous and adaptive. With automatic patch management for virtual machines, you can spend less time managing infrastructure and focus more on applications. Azure also provides support for continuous deployment, allowing you to optimize ongoing code updates. AutoScale is a feature built into Azure Web Apps that adjusts resources automatically based on web traffic. Through this platform, you can seamlessly connect a web application to an on-premises application, allowing employees and partners to securely access resources within the firewall.
 

• Distribute and complement Active Directory

Azure can integrate with Active Directory to complement its identity and access capabilities. If you have multiple locations or use on-premises or cloud applications like Microsoft 365, integrating Active Directory with Azure will be the central tool for managing and maintaining access to all these tools. Azure also allows for the use of multi-factor authentication, adding a new layer of security to data and applications without any hassle for users.
 

• Innovate with Internet of Things (IoT) Industry Solutions

The scalability, flexibility, and security of Microsoft Azure make it the perfect resource for companies moving toward IoT solutions. Devices can be connected to the cloud through solutions that integrate with the company’s existing infrastructure, starting to collect new data. Within Azure IoT Hub, it is possible to monitor and manage millions of devices and gain insights to help make better business decisions, improve customer experiences, reduce complexity, lower costs, and accelerate development. Enhanced Azure security is a great asset for IoT solutions, which traditionally have security gaps that hackers can exploit. Other benefits include remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and analytics.
