Spend less on operations. And more on innovations.

If you’re looking for a way to reduce operational spending – without limiting your business’s ability to turn out powerful applications and services – the Windows® Azure™ platform is the way to go.

The efficiency of using a fully managed Cloud platform solution.

Compared to many other cloud solutions that use an outsourced infrastructure as a service model, the Windows Azure platform is a platform as a service.

The difference is that our platform comes pre-configured, and we handle the management.

• You won’t have to invest the money, time and effort in procuring and configuring on-premises infrastructure.
• There’s no need for you to implement fail-over or redundancy systems.
• It’s fully configured and managed, freeing your resources from building and managing Virtual Machines or patching the OS.
• It’s completely integrated with Visual Studio and the .NET framework, so there’s no need to re-train your development team or purchase new software tools. It also works with Eclipse, Java, PHP and Ruby.

Focus on business logic and not operational hurdles.

Instead of spending time and money on procuring, configuring, deploying and managing servers, what if you invested the same resources in what your company does best? You’d see more innovative solutions get to market more quickly…better satisfying your customers and increasing revenues.

With the Windows Azure platform, you’ll reduce up-front technology purchases AND give your developers a familiar environment to work in, with the skills and tools they already know.

Competitive, flexible pricing that improves operational cash flow.

Traditional on-premises or hosted solutions rely on forecasting the highest predicted workload.

Since you don’t want your systems to be down at peak periods, most companies use a best-guess method and over-anticipate needs – better safe than sorry, right? But this over provisioning leads to your assets being underutilized. And you’re still not covered for unpredictable or unanticipated spikes in growth.

The Windows Azure platform, on the other hand, scales with your needs. You only pay for what you use. Capacity can be reduced as needed to lower costs, or dialed up to meet demand. You’ll meet customer and business needs, without any servers gathering dust.

Unparalleled support.

Unlike other Cloud computing offerings, the Windows Azure platform stands apart by providing a wide array of support options that best suit your needs. Between the broad global community, our partners and the depth of MSDN, your team will be able to quickly get questions answered, issues resolved…and get back to work.
