Frequently Asked Questions
At its core, Microsoft Azure is a constantly growing platform of cloud services designed to prioritise flexibility, scalability, and agility. Currently, there are over 100 Azure services, with each one designed to fulfil a specific use case and requirement.
See all the current Azure services in their directory.
Accessible to users via an online portal, Azure can work with all main operating systems and languages, and can be integrated with public cloud applications and existing architecture.
When it comes to maintenance, Azure can automatically repair, recover, and upgrade systems. For internal teams, this enables them to always trust in the security of insights and processes while freeing up valuable resource to focus on other critical tasks.
Many users turn to Microsoft Azure for a cost-effective and scalable solution to growing datasets and complex architecture. Scalability is essential for many enterprises, as business growth is almost always superseded by excelling datasets. Fail to accompany this concern, infrastructure will begin to lag – and processes will lack the agility and flexibility needed in increasingly competitive markets.
Azure offers an innovative feature known as Autoscaling, which initiates events based on predetermined settings. Autoscaling enables teams to meet changing demands in Cloud Services, Mobile Services, Virtual Machines, and Websites through automatically adjusting resource available based on necessity or other controls.
Just a few advantages of autoscaling in Microsoft Azure include:
- Optimised application performance
- Highly flexible resource allocation based on demand
- A cost-effective approach to necessary infrastructure
- Increased trust in processes through minimal technical disruption
Cloud-based platforms have traditionally encountered resistance over a fear of reduced security, but this is by no means accurate.
Accelerated by the recent pandemic, many cloud-based platforms feature comprehensive security features to ensure that any data uploaded and collected is kept safeguarded and protected.
Microsoft Azure boasts many of these security features, including but not limited to:
- Enhanced encryption
- Traffic monitoring
- Smart access control
- Trusted Execution Environments
As many of these features are automated, the user can always be sure that their data and outputs are continuously always protected and monitored for the greatest possible security.
Azure is a pay- per- use based platform with a very clear pricing mechanism with web & storage services available from a couple of dollars a month. What you need and how you intend for it to be delivered, will determine the end price. The more leveraged Platform as a Service (PaaS), the more cost effective your solution becomes.

Azure offers a faster path to what the vast majority of businesses are really looking for; a service. As we tell our customers, you don’t want a server – you want the service! Azure puts the tools in front of you to conveniently construct the services you need without having to invest in the underlying infrastructure.
Microsoft has constructed a cloud that’s very easy for any business to consume, especially for those with an existing investment in Microsoft products. Many of our customers find that Microsoft offers a very simple means of extending their existing infrastructure into Azure, enabling them to start small and add additional services into Azure when it makes sense to them. For Microsoft’s take on the head to head see https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/overview/azure-vs-aws/
You could, but Azure offers what you need with an underlying guarantee as to its availability. Additionally, within Cloud many more of the costs of delivering the service are exposed and included within the price you pay. Within on-premises workloads much of this can be hidden (as much as 60% by some reports) in power, hosting, infrastructure and staffing costs.
Commercially Azure offers a pay as you go model, removing large upfront capital purchases and enabling you to buy the capacity you need for day 1, not day 1000 as it would be if you purchased the infrastructure on-premises. This offers a cost effective model that scales (or shrinks) with your business, as its often difficult to pick what your business will be doing in 3 years and sizing infrastructure accordingly.
Not really, but there are variable charges to be aware of such as egress data charges that can vary month to month depending on your usage. With proper design such charges will be much more known and less variable as we can architect the optimal delivery model.
With the Azure managed services users can outsource the IT operations to get more from the Azure deployments. Choosing the right service provider can help users to maximise their value through managed services.
Azure-managed services can help businesses and enterprises to monitor, improvise and supervise the Azure applications. Also, with the Azure services, users can move their business to the cloud and seamlessly perform operations to enhance the core business values.
Microsoft Azure core services include Azure Service Architecture, Storage Service, AI & ML Service, Azure Compute Service, Data Platform Service, Network Service, Container Service, and much more.
Azure allows business to scale their operations as per the client demands, migration to azure allows businesses to access data from anywhere remotely. Also, Azure eliminates the server maintenance requirements which means reduced downtime and down costs.
Microsoft Azure lets you develop Virtual machines, SQL databases, Application services, Visual Studio team services, Azure Active Directory Domain Services, Storage, and Hosting services.
