Benefits of Cloud Solutions
Benefits of the cloud are obvious: spontaneously scalable resources, immensely reduced maintenance, data security and flexible costs that are usage-based. Hybrid solutions, in which only part of the data is outsourced to the cloud – resulting in particularly attractive benefits.
Spontaneous, on-demand scaling
The biggest advantage of the cloud: the Azure services – can be spontaneously high or scaled down, so you only pay only for the resources you actually use – depending on your acute needs. Exactly to the minute!
Perfect for marketing campaigns, e-commerce seasonal business such as Christmas or product launches.


No “either … or”: Hybrid solutions as a flexible extension of the IT infrastructure
For some cloud providers, you need to choose between your data center and the cloud. This is not the case with the Microsoft Cloud “Azure”. Take advantage of a hybrid architecture when you want to outsource only certain areas to the cloud, where you benefit most from this spontaneous resource scalability.
Azure is integrated into your existing IT environment via a huge network of secure private connections, hybrid database and storage solutions together with additional archiving and encryption functions.
Security
