Declining Economy

As the financial markets get tighter and the economy worsens, IT organizations everywhere look to find cost savings in their infrastructure. Although it is true that not all workloads that are migrated to the cloud will cost less, a vast majority of cloud services will reduce your overall spending.

AZURE FEATURES

Azure Cost Savings

Using IT resources to manage equipment and servers can considerably drain budgets. The massive success of Cloud services is due partly to cost savings that customers can realize by utilizing economies of scale. Instead of hiring support staff to manage servers, upgrade hardware, pull network cable, and maintain IT infrastructure, organizations are instead using Microsoft Azure to offload all that responsibility to Microsoft for a fraction of the cost.

Customers can decide exactly how much work they wish to maintain themselves because Azure can provide Platform as a service, Infrastructure as a Service, and Software as a Service.

Virtualized Servers:

Virtualized servers also provide you the option of dialing up or down resources as they are needed. No longer do business owners have to purchase massive servers to handle that once or twice a year when demand is highest. Memory, CPU, and bandwidth can all be reallocated to running systems as needed. Businesses only pay for the capacity they need.

Novastratus Services:

Novastratus specializes in delivering Microsoft Azure Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) Workshops. These multi-day sessions help organizations to create plans for Azure deployments focusing on Governance, Security, Cost Accounting, and more.

The CAF workshops can even deploy an Azure landing zone that is optimized for best practices on the customer domain. Setting up an Azure environment correctly with proper rules, compliance, security, and management can greatly lower the costs of typical IT infrastructure.

Novastratus can work with your organization to apply CAF fundamentals to existing Azure deployments.
