Microsoft Azure: professionalism in the cloud

2022. June 28.

The ‘cloud’ is now part of the core set of internet technologies. According to statistics from Cybersecurity Ventures, by 2025, more than 100 zettabytes of data will be stored in the cloud, half of all data stored. To make the cloud part of as many processes as possible, a well-established backbone is needed: Microsoft Azure. We now take a closer look at this public opportunity. Let's see what you need to know about it!

What is Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft's cloud computing platform allows you to build, deploy and run applications using Microsoft's data centres. Previously, this well-known platform had multiple names, including Windows Azure, Windows Cloud and Windows Strata. To understand its importance, it is worth saying a few words about what cloud computing is.

Cloud computing allows applications to run on a remote device, so they do not consume memory on the device they are used on, they do not overload it and do not use its capacity.

Developers create applications in .NET languages for Azure, which can then be easily uploaded and updated when needed.

The cloud offers a huge variety of services, with more than 200 extra options. These include data management, performing various calculations, storage, and mobile services. All this is made possible by solutions such as Iaas (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service) and SaaS (Software as a Service).

The benefits of Microsoft Azure

Azure has many advantages that have won over a good number of Fortune 500 companies. The most important of these are:
 
Flexibility: the platform is flexible, supporting a wide range of operating systems, languages, devices, and frameworks.
Reliability: Microsoft guarantees 99.95% uptime and 24/7 technical support.
Cost-efficiency: cloud-based solutions generally pay only for what the subscribers use. This is no different from Azure.
Global availability: there are 42 Microsoft Azure data centres around the world and this number is continuously growing.

Microsoft Azure services

Azure offers more than 200 services, which can be grouped into 18 categories. The main services are:

Computing services

  • Virtual machine
  • Cloud services
  • Service Fabric

Networking

  • Azure CDN
  • Virtual Network
  • Azure DNS

Storage

  • Blob Storage
  • Disk storage
  • File storage

What can Azure be used for?

Microsoft Azure has a wide range of uses. It can be of great service in many situations, some of which are described below.

Application development

The Azure platform can be used to create a variety of applications. It allows you to work efficiently and quickly and produce quality work.

Testing

It is not only possible to develop applications on the platform, but also to test the applications that are developed and built, ensuring that users end up with well-functioning applications.

Application repository

Once the application has been built and tested, Azure doesn't let go of the developers' hands by allowing them to deploy it.

Create virtual machines

The ability to create virtual machines in any configuration in the cloud is a huge advantage.

Synchronisation and integration

Azure can also facilitate the synchronisation and integration of virtual devices and libraries.
