Customize your cloud experience.
In the past, businesses hosted their own infrastructure. A business would have its own web server on its own hardware. If more computing power were needed, businesses would have to purchase additional hardware and pay an administrator the implementation costs to upgrade. With the widespread adoption of cloud computing, having your own infrastructure is no longer necessary to create the servers that host your applications and services.
Microsoft Azure (formerly Windows Azure) provides a directory of hundreds of different services your business can utilize, including Windows or Linux virtual machines, file storage, databases, mobile services, web apps, and more. The comprehensive services offered by Microsoft Azure put the power of the cloud to work for your business- With the ability to create a virtual machine of any type, you can easily host any legacy application, ending the need for your power-hungry legacy hardware and unifying your existing infrastructure.
Here are some reasons why businesses are turning to Azure:
