What is Cloud Computing? What is Microsoft Azure?
Cloud computing is booming. Indeed, it's clear that this technology is replacing on-premise infrastructures in companies across all industries.
But why? Well, its main advantage is that it enables organizations to access IT resources without having to erect an on-site data center.
In 2018,this booming market is shared by four main players: Amazon Web Services , Microsoft Azure , Alibaba and Google Cloud Platform .
Microsoft Azure is the new name ( since 2014 ) for Microsoft's Cloud platform. It's a giant cloud where you can build, develop and deploy your applications.
At first, it was a simple Windows Server-based platform, and then gradually gained in flexibility.
As a result, Azure developers can use any programming language and tools to create applications, from open-source solutions to proprietary Microsoft technologies.
Productivity
Azure is first and foremost a multitude of available services, enabling you to use a single provider and thus save time and increase flexibility.
Security
Your information system is much more secure on a Cloud platform than on your premises or on most third-party hosting solutions.
Did you know that Azure, with the highest number of certifications and approvals, is the only one to be validated by all the European CNILs?
Azure is also compliant with numerous regulatory requirements such as RGPD, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1 and SOC 2 and HDS (healthcare data hosting)
Availability
Windows Azure is committed to providing its users with responsive support when needed (less than 2 hours for live support on the phone, and a few minutes response time on Twitter). So developers can work with complete peace of mind.For more information, contact our experts
