What is Azure?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure that allows your business to easily build, deploy and manage applications and services from the cloud.
As a flexible cloud platform, Azure provides the following features:
- A 99.95% monthly Service Level Agreement
- Enterprise-level security used by many leading organizations
- The ability to use any language, framework or tool to build applications
- Unlimited servers and storage
By migrating to Azure, you’ll gain powerful yet cost-effective Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Platform-as-a-Service options. Azure handles your IaaS Servers, Storage, Identity, Security, Networking and Compliance, freeing your team to focus on higher-level initiatives.
“Agile IT is well-founded in cloud computing and cloud engineering, so I was confident to move forward with the project.”

5 Reasons To Migrate To Azure For Your Cloud Hosting Platform?
Leveraging the reliability and flexibility of Azure will enable your team to:
1. Save Money With Pay-As-You-Go Services
Pay only for the storage and bandwidth you use with Azure’s pay-as-you-go services. As your business needs change, you’ll also have the option to quickly scale up or down. With per-minute billing and price match options for popular infrastructure services, you’ll always get unbeatable prices for performance.
2. Conserve Resources By Integrating Your Existing IT
Don’t choose between your datacenter and the cloud. Azure easily integrates with your existing IT environment through the largest network of secure private connections, hybrid database and storage solutions and data residency and encryption features. Working with other Microsoft software and services such as Windows Server, SQL Server and SharePoint, Azure makes the cloud a seamless and customizable part of your IT.
3. Rely on a More Secure & Flexible Cloud Service Platform
Azure supports the same technologies millions of developers and IT professionals rely on today and the widest selection of operating systems, programming languages, frameworks, tools, databases and devices.
By migrating to Azure, you’ll also gain enterprise-level security with the same data protection and datacenter security as leading global corporations. Azure also offers affordable and reliable backup for your data and applications along with enterprise-grade SLAs on services, 24/7 tech support and continuous service health monitoring.
4. Improve Performance By Accessing More Datacenters
Azure runs on a worldwide network of Microsoft-managed datacenters in more countries and regions than Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud combined. This fast-growing global footprint gives you plenty of options for running applications and ensuring optimal performance.
5. Work Smarter, Not Harder With Exclusive Azure Services
Azure offers integrated tools, pre-built templates and managed services that simplify building and managing enterprise, mobile, Web and Internet of Things (IoT) apps while using technologies you already know.
By utilizing Azure’s predictive analytics services (Machine Learning, Cortana Analytics, Stream Analytics and more), your business can stream IoT data to make smarter decisions, improve customer service and uncover new business possibilities faster.
