How the correct utilisation of Azure cloud can improve your Data?

Data is the building blocks that allow companies to grow and operate effectively. No company can operate without having their data in check and the best way in 2022 to store/manipulate your Data is through Microsoft Azure.

The Azure Data stack consists of Data Lake, Data Bricks, Data Factory, Data Warehousing and Synapse Analytics. These products allow engineers and architects to manipulate data to suit a company’s needs, they are used for:

• Azure Data Lake: Designed for big data analytics and provides unlimited storage for Data
• Azure Data Bricks: Allows for seamless integration with open-source libraries
• Azure Data Factory: To create data-driven workflows for orchestrating data movement and transforming data.
• Azure Data Warehousing: To store current and historical data and are used for reporting and analysis of the data
• Azure Synapse Analytics: Helps process data faster and allows you to correlate all the data to query on your own terms

Moving your Data to Azure will come with multiple benefits; one major benefit is that it will reduce IT infrastructure costs for the company. Decision makers can decide what resources they want to implement depending on the business requirements which will avoid wasteful spending.

Another benefit is that the company will be more adaptable to change as accessibility to data will become a lot more flexible. Gone are the days of filtering through spreadsheet as Azure allows your data to be available on demand which helps to keep up with industry change.

Security will improve when moving to Azure as Microsoft empowers companies to implement security policies and governance to help protect applications from hacking attempts.

A big problem with on prem solutions to store and manage data is the end of life concern of the software you use. Cloud bypasses this issue as companies can pay as they go for crucial cloud capabilities and take advantage of updates as they come available.

In conclusion Azure allows for better visualisation, optimisation and accessibility with your data, on prem systems are closing on their end of life and with the increased popularity of remote working, Cloud platforms are becoming the new norm.
