2. Microsoft Azure is a flexible cloud computing platform that enables enterprises to build,
deploy and manage applications promptly through Microsoft managed and its partner
hosted data centres.
It has the capability to integrate the public cloud applications with the current IT
environment and helps to build applications using any framework, language or tools.
According to Gartner, Azure is currently the pre-eminent cloud platform for not only
platform-as-a-service (PaaS) but also infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS).

4. REASONS
Many IT professionals and enterprises are adapting to Azure technology to overcome on-premise server
capabilities as this is one of the most powerful cloud platform with flexibility and scalability. Here are some
reasons that make Azure one of the best tools as a cloud solution.
Effectively integrates with other Microsoft tools
For enterprises that rely on Microsoft tools such as SharePoint, Office 365 and Outlook, Azure is the best
option as it integrates effectively with these tools.
Faster time to market
You don’t have to worry about the fundamental platform or infrastructure and focus only on developing
application functionalities. It will help completing your app development in a fraction of the time and thus
reducing the time to market.
5. Lower costs
It lowers the upfront costs by enabling pay-as-you-grow model (Paying only for what you use). The cost of
developing, testing, and distributing web-based applications reduces as you have to pay only for processing time
and storage space you need at a given time. Therefore, it helps to reduce CAPEX and benefits you to enjoy the
economies of scale from resource sharing.
Reliability, security and compliance
The Online Services Security and Compliance team of Microsoft maintains the security control framework and
introduces programs and policies to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and to manage security
risks.
6. Increased scalability
You need not to worry about the server capacity when your app usage increases. You can move virtual hard
disks between cloud servers and on-premises or can add additional capacity to ensure that your app is
running smoothly.
Simplified data storage
Binary Large Objects (Blobs) are the easiest ways to store unstructured text and binary data like audio, video
and images. The Export / Import feature of Azure will help to move this data in and out of Blob storage as
required.
