Additional benefits are dependent on your current business and processes; however, the following general benefits are realized after an Azure migration. Pay as you go: Only pay for what you need.
Scale up and scale down quickly: Meet organizational needs as you grow or support seasonal demand. Save money if/when you need to downsize. Modern lifecycle: Don’t purchase new hardware ever again. Maintain peace of mind and time savings by using services that are automatically updated and upgraded. Business continuity: Quickly and easily ensure that your business keeps running no matter what happens. Deploy servers and workloads to multiple geographic regions while allowing Azure to handle the orchestration of data replication and failover.
Modern subscription services: Don’t overpay for a big server or storage area network (SAN) that you will never fully utilize. Instead, start out with compute, storage, networking, application, and security services that fit your current needs – and grow them along with your business. No longer worry about finding the cash for financial large IT capital expenditure purchases. Power of the cloud: Vastly improve your cybersecurity posture and IT services reliability and redundancy.
Focus on strategic initiatives: Shift the burden of managing and performing numerous IT infrastructure responsibilities to Microsoft. Allow your IT team to focus on initiatives that uniquely power your business and transform IT into a force multiplier, instead of just a cost center.
Modernize your applications: Choose from a lift-and-shift approach or a more modern platform services-based approach to breathe new life, reliability, visibility, and redundancy into your applications – or, employ a mixture of both approaches!
