Microsoft Azure – make the leap to the cloud

Microsoft Azure provides a platform for operating a wide range of services and solutions in the cloud. We can help you migrate your data, applications and solutions to the Azure platform, always with your goals in mind and taking security, automation and modernization into account. The cloud can make you more agile and competitive.

How we work

Our cloud experts accompany you step by step on the way to your new, innovative environment. Our goal is to make virtually every service accessible at the click of a button directly in the cloud.

To achieve this, we use a carefully considered approach in which detailed analysis and planning are just as important as seamless technical project execution. We take the time to understand your needs so that we can show you all the potential options. The project runs cyclically in multiple iterations until we arrive at an agreed goal.

Once planning is over, implementation can begin. Based on the migration strategy, we implement the previously established requirements. Your systems move from the local environment into the cloud. Finally, we take another look at your systems’ security, particularly in terms of data privacy, before comparing the achieved goals with the cloud roadmap.

Use Cases

Use case How Microsoft Azure helps How your organization benefits
Disaster recovery Azure Recovery Services provide automatic disaster recovery. Local VMs are reproduced in Azure, while failover and failback are managed. The RPO and RTO are reduced, resulting in lower operating costs for the DR infrastructure. During replication, you only pay for the storage costs for the DR infrastructure.
Functional tests Provision of a consistent test environment that provides predefined images using templates. Cost savings, as only the instances or resources required for the tests are provided. Once the tests are complete, all resources can be deleted.
Archiving Archiving of historic data for auditing and governance purposes. P2V migration from old systems that are retained in Azure Offline. Azure storage tiering for lower storage costs. Quick system start-up if required.
