What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure is a public cloud computing service that offers a huge variety of tools and branch services to help with all your business IT and computing needs. Similar to Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure is a global leader in computing services. In fact, it’s the second-most used cloud service next to AWS. Services offered through Microsoft Azure include analytics, app development, data storage, load balancing, servers, and more. NearShore can guide you through selecting which Microsoft Azure services are necessary for your business and help manage your account.
Benefits of Using Microsoft Azure for Your Business
Flexibility and Scalability
One of the most appealing aspects of cloud computing services in general is the flexibility that they offer. With cloud computing, you and your team are able to access data and other services from any remote location with an internet connection, making it easier to collaborate and work without the need for an on-premise server. Microsoft Azure is also designed to be automatically scalable — as your IT needs grow, so will your IT structure. This prevents any lapse in service from servers becoming overloaded by traffic.
Cost Savings
On-premise servers are expensive to invest in and limit where and when you can access your company data. Most companies are switching entirely to cloud-based services like Microsoft Azure or implementing a combination of on-premise and cloud computing. Without the need to invest big bucks into all the hardware and software required to get an on-premise server up and running, you’ll be able to greatly reduce your costs. Services like Microsoft Cloud typically charge a standard monthly operating fee that is well below the price of running your computing on-site. This is a great way to cut costs and increase your IT capabilities.
Extensive List of Available Tools
Azure Cloud Services has a seemingly endless list of tools and resources available to its customers, which makes it easy to customize your agreement. Working with NearShore will help you identify the most valuable services for your company and utilize all that Microsoft Azure has to offer from AI tool integrations with Azure Cognitive Services to adding authentication security with Azure Active Directory.
