Microsoft’s Azure is a flexible cloud computing platform that enables enterprises to build, deploy, and manage applications promptly through Microsoft’s managed and partner-hosted data centers. It can integrate public cloud applications with the current IT environment and build applications using any framework, language, or tools.

According to Gartner, Azure is currently the pre-eminent cloud platform for not only platform-as-a-service but also infrastructure-as-a-service.

Many IT professionals and enterprises are adapting to Azure technology to overcome on-premise server capabilities as this is one of the most useful cloud platforms with flexibility and scalability. Below are some reasons that make Azure one of the best tools as a cloud solution.

Effectively integrates with other Microsoft tools

For enterprises that rely on Microsoft tools such as SharePoint, Office 365, and Outlook, Azure is the best option to integrate effectively with these tools.

Faster time to market

You don’t have to worry about the virtual platform or infrastructure and focus only on developing application functionalities. It will help complete your app development in a fraction of the time and reduce the time to market.

Lower costs

It lowers the upfront costs by enabling the pay-as-you-grow model (Paying only for what you use). The cost of developing, distributing & testing web-based applications reduces as you have to pay only for processing time & storage space you need at a given time. Therefore, it benefits you to enjoy the economies of scale from resource sharing.

Reliability, security, and compliance

The Online Services Security and Compliance team of Infusai “A Microsoft Partner maintains the security control framework & introduces programs and policies to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, including managing security risks.

Increased scalability

You need not worry about the server capacity when your app usage grows. You may move virtual hard disks between cloud servers and on-premises or add additional capacity to ensure that your app runs smoothly.

Simplified data storages

Binary Large Objects (Blobs) are the easiest ways to store unstructured text & binary data like video, audio and images. The Export or Import feature of Azure will help move this data in and out of Blob storage.

By integrating the Microsoft Azure platform into your IT landscape, you can realize all the above benefits in a short while.

Knowing that cloud applications are rarely stand-alone incorporates industry-proven techniques and makes sure you obtain the benefits of Microsoft Azure in a highly cost-effective manner.
