WHAT MAKES UP AZURE?
Azure is a flexible, open and secure public cloud platform built for
businesses to create, deploy and run applications and infrastructure.
Accelerate your development to deliver applications faster
while easily creating compute, network and storage services.
Extend your datacentre to the cloud for additional capacity or
reduce your on-premises infrastructure overhead using an
enterprise-ready computing platform – and only pay for
what you need, when you need it.
Azure is a growing platform of services that can be used
separately or combined to create the right solution for your
business. Running both Windows and Linux operating systems and
allowing developers to use their popular language of choice means even
legacy applications can find a new home.
These figures are for a composite mid-size organisation with
100 applications supported by Azure, risk-adjusted over 5 years*
