Azure Managed Services

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform. It has all the benefits of a traditional server network but based in the cloud. Azure offers a range of services that include computing, storage, analytics, networking, AI, and more. Without the need for outlay on expensive on-premise infrastructure, Azure offers businesses complete scalability, security, and flexibility.

The key advantage of Azure over AWS or Google Cloud Platform is its seamless integration with other Microsoft products. Many businesses already use products like Microsoft 365, and Azure extends this ecosystem into the cloud avoiding adding the complexity of managing another database. Azure also allows you to bring existing licences for products like Windows server and SQL Server with cost benefits.

If your planned migration to Microsoft Azure is not organised sufficiently there are many challenges your business could encounter. These can include technical difficulties, data loss, security vulnerabilities, performance degradation, cost management issues, and compliance concerns. Therefore, it’s important to entrust your move to the cloud with an experienced Azure provider like Croft. We can ensure your migration runs smoothly.
