Azure

Azure is a cloud computing platform and service from Microsoft, offering a big range of tools for building, deploying, and managing applications through Microsoft-managed data centers.

It provides infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and serverless capabilities, supporting everything from virtual machines to advanced AI, DevOps, and hybrid cloud solutions. It's a strong choice for enterprise environments, particularly those already using Microsoft products like Office 365, Active Directory, and Windows Server.

• Enterprises and large organizations — especially for those already embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem, it comes very handy!

• IT teams managing hybrid cloud or on-prem integrations

• Developers building full-stack applications with flexible compute, storage, and deployment options.

• Teams requiring high compliance, security, and governance for their business operations. Azure meets many enterprise-grade standards.

• Companies needing AI, ML, or data analytics services.

• Enterprise app hosting - Run secure, scalable business applications with integration into Microsoft security and identity services.

• Heavy data warehousing and analytics - Process large volumes of data with Azure Synapse, Azure Data Factory, and Power BI.

• AI and machine learning - Build and deploy models with Azure Machine Learning and Cognitive Services.

• Hybrid cloud and on-premise extensions - Use Azure Arc and Stack to manage resources across cloud and physical infrastructure.
