There is no denying that the coronavirus pandemic has caused widespread disruption to supply chains around the world. This has had a knock-on effect on many industries, including the tech sector. One company that has been affected by this is Microsoft and their Azure platform, which relies on chips from suppliers around the world.

What do you look for from an Azure hosting provider? Ideally, you need a provider who will stay on top of all the latest options from the various cloud platforms – whether Azure or AWS – and one who has supporting technology that works equally well across those.

Most of us now have a large percentage of our critical applications and core business processes running in the cloud. With that shift, the traditional method of IT hosting could soon be a distant memory.

In recent years, we’ve seen more and more mission-critical applications and business processes move to the cloud. As a result, we are becoming increasingly reliant on cloud technology from large providers.

One of the main advantages of migrating your IT infrastructure to Azure is that it’s completely flexible and scalable.

If your organisation is using the Microsoft cloud without a sufficient Azure support plan in place, you’re leaving yourself exposed.

Making big decisions for any part of your business is never simple, however choosing when and how to migrate over to AWS or Azure can be one of the most complicated - even if it seems simple from the outset. There are seemingly endless decisions to be made, such as which provider to use, what your strategy should be and how to plan your budgets, and this is before you even get started on how to manage the migration between each of your different applications.

Adopting the Azure cloud can transform your organisation, delivering vast gains in speed, agility, and performance of IT systems, while removing the need for outdated hardware.

The AWS cloud has the power to transform your business, providing vast gains in speed, agility, and performance, while removing the need for outdated legacy systems.

Working with a partner is usually the preferred option for businesses seeking AWS support.
