Business value with
transformation
Flexibility to deploy or develop. Azure
allows you to quickly migrate, create, and
configure new Windows Server VMs.
With the proper tools and procedures,
you can easily lift and shift Windows Server
2008 VMs on-premises to Azure.
Global scale. For applications
and workloads that are spread out
geographically, moving to a cloud like
Azure offers global distribution with
defined service-level agreements (SLAs)
on performance.
Improved security and compliance.
Azure continuously protects data and its
integrity with a robust suite of security
monitoring tools and controls. Powerful
network security, access and authorization
controls, and auditing features add control
and peace of mind.
Reduced maintenance overhead. You can
reduce IT overhead and maintenance costs
by moving line-of-business applications
built on older editions of Windows Server
and SQL Server to the latest editions—
significantly reducing the work required to
operate, secure, and maintain these apps.
