Microsoft Azure – the Complete Cloud Solution.
Microsoft Azure is a collection of cloud services that can be used to build, deploy and manage Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications and services through their world-wide network of Microsoft-managed data centres.
Many businesses rely on Microsoft products and therefore moving to the Azure cloud environment can be cost-effective, more efficient and improve productivity as it ensures all staff have access to data whatever the platform and wherever the staff location.
What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure is ideal for businesses looking for a hybrid approach to their hosting: a mix of on-site and off-site resources, and often encompass private and public clouds which perform distinct functions. Microsoft Azure can also be used as an alternative to an off-site data centre with all business applications transferred to Azure cloud.
Microsoft Azure combines the following cloud computing services:
- Software as a Service (Saas) – software is licensed on a subscription basis and is hosted centrally.
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – provision of virtual computing resources over the internet by third parties and users pay on a per usage basis.
- Platform as a Service (PaaS) – provision of hardware and software over the internet by third parties, typically for key services such as web servers and databases.
There are a range of technical solutions available through Microsoft Azure including: digital marketing, mobile app build, e-commerce, Internet of Things (IoT), SharePoint and so much more.

If you’re looking for a reliable cloud service provider, then Microsoft Azure is one of the leading providers. However, other leading providers of public cloud space include Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). MBM can assist with the set up and management of all three leading Managed Cloud Providers.
