Azure

Migrating on-premises servers to Azure can offer several significant business benefits in efficiency and agility

• No Hardware Management: When you move to Azure, you no longer need to worry about maintaining physical server hardware. Azure takes care of the handoff to other available resources in case of hardware failures. Not needing to manage hardware support and maintenance contracts brings big cost and administration savings.
• Easy Upgrade Paths: Azure provides straightforward upgrade paths for your applications and services. Compared to using physical servers, application migrations and upgrades can be delivered with the minimum of business interruption.
• Cost Efficiency: By migrating to Azure, you can take advantage of a pay-as-you-go model. This means you only pay for the cloud resources you actually use, resulting in reduced infrastructure costs and improved budget management. Azure’s scalability ensures that you can scale up or down as needed without overcommitting resources.
• Enhanced Security: Azure offers built-in security features and specialised cloud security tools, Your data and applications are protected, and security patching is handled automatically in many cases.
• Backup, Recovery, and Failover: Azure provides one-click backup and recovery capabilities, improving business continuity. You can also store backups in different geographic regions for added redundancy
• Simplified Management: Azure’s central management tools allow you to monitor and manage both your on-premises datacenter and cloud resources from a single screen.
• Reduced insurance premiums: Improved business continuity and reduction in expensive server hardware typically results in reduced business insurance premiums

Successful migration planning involves a defined strategy and participation from key stakeholders. Contact Infrasys to discuss how our approach to this has helped other organisations.
