Why consider an Azure consultant
when migrating to the cloud?
As part of our Microsoft Azure consultancy service, we consider a number of factors. Firstly, is there a need for adopting the cloud, and if so, what does the transition and technology look like, followed by the outcome and benefits. Fundamentally, it depends on your business needs and whether or not its the right use case for what you want to achieve.
Microsoft Azure use case scenarios
Our Microsoft Azure Consultancy ensures your data is protected and accessible in the event of a failure
Data integrity should be a priority for every business. With the ever advancing threats of Ransomware and Cyber attacks, now is the time to implement a strategy for protecting your data. There are multiple ways in which you can achieve this, and we specifically focus on online backups and data replication as a key starting point.
Online backups
Online backups ensure that if there is a breach or failure with your core IT services, you know you have the ability to restore data to its original condition.
Known as the 3-2-1 rule, it’s important to store multiple copies of your data. Aim to have three copies; production data, local backup data and online backup data. Ensure that there are two different media types and one copy of your data is offsite.
Data Replication
Data Replication can form part of your overall disaster recovery solution. Replication enables you to have a secondary set of resources in the background ready to go. Throughout the day, the changes you make to your production data and IT, are replicated to another location.
In the event your core production IT fails, the replicated service will spin up and within a short period of time users will be back to business.
