Top Reasons Business Is Turning to Azure for Cloud Services

While the concept of the cloud has been around for about as long as the internet itself, its regular usage has recently become mainstream. Because of that, many industries have started to take notice and find ways to make the cloud work for them. However, there are so many providers to choose from these days that it can get a bit overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to go over the top reasons business is turning to Azure for cloud services.

It’s an Affordable Alternative

Owning an on-site data center for your business costs way more money than some people realize, between buying the required servers and hiring a full-scale IT team to run them. That’s why it’s usually more cost-effective to pay a cloud provider to use their servers, especially for smaller companies. Azure has a flexible pricing structure that lets you pay for what you need and nothing more. This allows companies of any size not to get overcharged for services they have no use for.

It’s Easy to Upscale With

Of course, all of Azure’s programs are easy to upscale as well. That means if your company is quickly growing, your cloud-processing power will grow with you. All of your SAPs on Azure will benefit from having more space without building new servers like you would if you had your own data center. Doing this on your own is time-consuming and costly, which isn’t something you want to deal with since it’ll hinder your growth.

It’s Fast and Reliable

Two aspects of the cloud that many companies worry about are speed and reliability. Having external space for computing your data does you no good if you have trouble accessing it. Fortunately, Microsoft is well aware of this and has remedied the situation by setting up multiple data centers across the United States. This will ensure that a server is always close enough to bring you your records with little to no delay.

It’s Available Worldwide

The previous top reason businesses are turning to Azure for cloud services doesn’t stop in the US, though. Microsoft wants people to have access to their servers all across the globe. Azure servers can reach over 140 countries, and that number continues to grow. No matter which locations your business operates out of, you can rest assured knowing that everyone will be able to access your company’s data without issue through Azure.
