We specialise in Microsoft Azure-based cloud services, helping you map your cloud journey and find the best route for your organisation.
That’s why we’re called Atlas Cloud!
Commonly referred to as one of the big three public cloud providers, Microsoft Azure is a set of ever-growing cloud-based services designed to help organisations fulfil a range of IT requirements.
Microsoft Azure, along with other cloud providers, takes the burden of physical hardware ownership away from organisations to provide a highly-scalable (pay as you use) model that offers resources when they’re required, on tap.
Azure uses a pay-per-second model which Microsoft openly publicises online. While that sounds expensive; with the right management, services can be scheduled for use only when required to dramatically reduce costs.
There are two ways to answer the question of why you should use Microsoft Azure: Discussing why you might use a public cloud and why you might choose Microsoft Azure as your public cloud of choice.
For many requirements, the public cloud is commonly regarded as the future. The scale of services that the big three – Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services – have over private cloud services is vast. That means their security credentials are unrivalled by any private provision, purely because of the resources available to the big three.
For many, it’s the consumption-based usage model that only public clouds can provide that is the most compelling proposition, as detailed below.
On Premises
Private Cloud
Public Cloud
Simply put, you actually can’t go wrong with any one of the big three public cloud providers. However, unless you have multinational enterprise-level scale, it makes sense to pick one provider.
Microsoft Azure is our public cloud of choice for two reasons.
Azure currently has the strongest integration with virtualisation technologies like Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Standard for Azure (CVAD) – which can help host and deliver on-premise applications in the public cloud. It recently became Citrix’s public cloud provider of choice, who are the standout market leader in virtualisation.
Second, if your organisation uses or is looking to migrate to Office 365 and Microsoft 365 suite of applications and licencing, there are various (albeit relatively minor) benefits in tying the two together from the same provider.
If you are looking for public cloud services from either Google or AWS, we are unable to help you. Atlas Cloud are Azure specialists.
