What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that can provide everything your business needs to run all or part of its computing operations virtually—including servers, storage, databases, networking, analytics and more.
Azure is highly customisable and provides increased flexibility that businesses simply don’t have with traditional on-premise servers or datacentres.
As a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider and Microsoft Partner, Ascentas can help you prepare for migration to an Azure environment and then manage the migration of data from On-Premises environments into the Microsoft Cloud.
Secure
Microsoft are the first cloud provider recognised by the European Union’s data protection authorities for their commitment to rigorous EU privacy laws.
Affordable
Azure’s competitive pay-as-you-go services match usage with demand, allowing capital to be freed up to invest elsewhere within your organisation.
Scalable
Scale up or down to match demand. Have you got multiple networks across the world? No problem, Azure can be deployed across them all with ease.
