6 Instances Where You May Need Azure Cloud

There are several different scenarios where Azure may make sense for customers.?

Infrastructure Nearing End of Life.?

First, some existing infrastructure may be nearing the end of life, for instance Dynamics GP and Dynamics NAV thus, you may be evaluating the potential of a large capital outlay to replace servers and storage. Azure can help you to replace that type of buying process and move to a new type of storage and backup model. Near the end of life for existing infrastructure is a great point to have that conversation. ?

Ease Pressure on Existing Capacity?

Another reason why you may need the services of Azure is when existing capacity is unable to keep up with demand. So maybe the infrastructure you have today isn't older and needs to be replaced. But the needs of the business are starting to outgrow those services. Maybe there is a business critical app that's consuming more resources than you initially planned for, and you are looking at additional hardware investments to support that and keep the rest of the services up and running. In that case, you may build a hybrid model where you extend the existing data center to Azure . Also, you may potentially move that resource intensive application or some of the other underlying companion applications that might be struggling for some of the resources. That mission critical application could be a good example of a good use case for Azure and where it can confide into the existing business without necessarily replacing the on-premise infrastructure. ?

Create Scalability?

The other reason is when your business needs to grow around availability, redundancy or scalability. Maybe a line of business app has only had a single server supporting it to date. However, the use of that business app is growing faster than what was anticipated by the IT department. These could all be great examples of where Azure can be used to augment that existing on-premise infrastructure. You may move the entire data center out to Azure, and that can make sense for your business. ?

Data Security?

If you’re worried about the security of your data, cloud computing can curb the never-ending lose from data breaches and cybercrimes since it has very advanced security features. It ensures that your data is safe right from the data collection, processing, storage, retrieval, and data migration.?

Data Mobility?

Another reason why you may need Azure services is if you’d like data access any place at any time via your devices and Smartphones. So long as you are connected to the internet, staff can access data while on the field, on-the-go or even working remotely from home. Your team can also work when on vacation.?

This mobile access of data ensures that every worker is always on the loop and up-to-date with what's going on in the company. This, in turn, saves time and resources while the output is undisrupted.?

Data Recovery?

Lastly, if you are concerned about losing thousands of dollars due to data loss, Azure services is for you. Data loss may be a result of cybercrimes, computer malfunction, user error, power outages or natural disasters. Whichever the cause of data loss, Azure cloud computing guarantees 24/7 availability of your data. If your businesses premise were to burn down to ashes, you would still be able to recover your data stored in the cloud infrastructure.?
