In today’s digital landscape, business continuity should be a top priority for all organisations. But if your Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure is managed on a ‘cloud solution provider’ (CSP) agreement, your business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities are at serious risk.

Why do we need a cloud strategy?

A well-thought out and defined cloud strategy gives you the best chance at carrying out a successful migration, coordinating with all of the relevant departments within your company, as well as your business goals.

With huge numbers of businesses moving their data storage over to the cloud, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s a reasonably straight-forward and simple process.

Despite the well-documented advantages associated with the cloud – such as greater speed, flexibility, agility, scalability – many businesses find their spending quickly becomes out of control when not managed sufficiently.

Wanting a move from their current provider Rackspace, Scirra, a software company based in London, has signed with us to take over their Azure hosting with CloudOps.
