These solutions offer flexibility, scalability, and consistency across environments, allowing organisations to optimise their IT resources and drive innovation.
By leveraging a hybrid and multicloud approach, organisations will seamlessly integrate their on-premises infrastructure with the cloud, allowing them to scale resources dynamically, optimise costs, and meet evolving business demands. This adoption empowers organisations to modernise their IT operations, enhance agility, and drive innovation while maintaining control over critical workloads and data.
Use cases for Microsoft Azure Hybrid and Multicloud Solutions
Microsoft Azure Hybrid and Multicloud Solutions offer versatile use cases across industries, empowering organisations to address diverse business needs and challenges.
Organisations can deploy applications across on-premises and cloud environments to optimise performance, latency, and data sovereignty requirements.
Azure Hybrid and Multicloud Solutions enable organisations to back up and archive data across multiple locations for improved data protection and compliance.
Organisations can leverage hybrid and multicloud environments to streamline DevOps processes, enabling faster application development, testing, and deployment.
Azure supports edge computing scenarios, allowing organisations to process data closer to the source for reduced latency and improved performance in IoT, manufacturing, and retail use cases.
Hybrid and multicloud architectures enable organisations to meet regulatory requirements by maintaining sensitive data on-premises while leveraging the scalability and agility of the cloud for other workloads.
By replicating workloads across multiple cloud regions or providers, organisations can ensure high availability and disaster recovery readiness, minimising downtime and data loss.
Microsoft Azure Stack HCI
Azure Stack HCI is a hyper-converged infrastructure solution offered by Microsoft that integrates with Azure services.
It allows organisations to run virtualised Windows and Linux workloads on-premises while also connecting to Azure for hybrid scenarios. Azure Stack HCI combines compute, storage, and networking capabilities in a single software-defined platform, providing scalability, flexibility, and simplified management. It enables organisations to modernise their data centres, improve operational efficiency, and leverage hybrid cloud benefits without sacrificing performance or security.
Where to start with Microsoft Azure
A thorough assessment is essential before moving to Azure, as it helps you to estimate the total cost of ownership, find possible issues, and make the migration planning process smoother. By carefully examining your current infrastructure, you learn about workload connections, resource usage patterns, and potential opportunities for cost savings.
This preventive method makes sure a smooth change to Azure, reducing interruptions and avoiding risks. Our Phoenix Surveyor has two parts based on your requirements:
Surveyor Migrate helps organisations that want to quickly move workloads and need a fast way to transfer virtual machines (VMs) and applications.
The fast way to move to Azure offers organisations a quick way to access the benefits of the cloud, without changing or redesigning their applications or workloads. This method moves existing on-premises applications and workloads to Azure fast, reducing disruptions and speeding up value.
Surveyor Migrate makes the moving process faster and ensures smooth operations, letting you use the scalability, security, and innovation of Azure.
