Migration and Beyond eBook

Harnessing the cloud is essential to digital transformation. Cloud computing has reshaped the way businesses operate and manage their IT infrastructure. It offers unparalleled scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency, making it an attractive proposition for any organisation.

The proof is in the numbers. According to Deloitte, small and medium businesses (SMBs) that use cloud computing enjoyed 20% higher profits and grew 26% faster than businesses that use primarily on-premise infrastructure. Business leaders agree that the cloud is an essential enabler or a force multiplier for driving digital change. It acts as a gateway for innovation, allowing businesses to leverage cutting-edge tools like AI, data analytics and more.

For decades, Window Server has been the default way that businesses power desktop environments and network services. It is the cornerstone of any Microsoft-powered on-premise solution. Similarity, SQL servers power organisation's on-premise databases.

Now, Microsoft Azure offers a robust replacement for this infrastructure. It is a comprehensive cloud computing platform that allows businesses to transition their workloads to a cloud environment.

In this eBook, we will discuss the key benefits of migrating to the cloud and explore some of the tools and capabilities that streamline moving to Azure. We go further, showing some common use cases, and most importantly, what to be aware of post-migration, regarding ongoing security and cost optimisation.
