Microsoft Azure

Microsoft's cloud platform — servers, databases, AI and security from one dashboard. We plan, implement and optimise your Azure setup so it doesn't cost triple.

CONTEXT

Why Azure

Azure is the second-largest cloud platform in the world after AWS — but for businesses already using Microsoft 365, the first choice. Single sign-on (Entra ID), seamless integration with the Office environment, data centres in Europe, EU compliance.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

What we do in Azure

Migration to the cloud

Moving local servers to Azure Virtual Machines or Azure Files. No data loss, with a planned transition schedule.

Architecture planning

Which apps to move, which need a VM, which fit PaaS, where serverless works. So you don't pay for what you don't need.

Cost optimisation

Azure bills can grow over the years. We audit — Reserved Instances, autoscaling, switching off idle resources. Typically 20–40% savings.

Security and identity

Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), MFA, Conditional Access, Privileged Identity Management. So no one touches what they shouldn't.

Databases

Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL — managed databases with automatic backups and patches.

Monitoring and alerts

Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Application Insights. An alert whenever something drifts out of the norm.

WHO IT'S FOR

Companies after a local server dies

The old server burned out — don't buy a new one, move to the cloud. CAPEX → OPEX.

Growing companies

Ten employees today, fifty within a year. Azure scales without buying hardware.

Microsoft 365 businesses

You already use M365 — Azure joins under one account, one bill, one policy.

Hybrid setups

Some services stay local (latency, data), others in the cloud. Azure Hybrid builds the bridge.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Does the data stay in Europe?

Your choice. Microsoft Azure has data centres in Northern Europe (Ireland), Western Europe (Netherlands), Germany and France. We configure it so data never leaves the EU.

How much does Azure cost?

Everything is pay-as-you-go. A small VM starts from a modest monthly fee; a typical business setup is quoted individually — we calculate your specific scenario before we start.

Do we need an in-house Azure expert?

No — that is exactly why we exist. We manage Azure; you use what lives there (databases, applications, e-mail).

Is Azure safer than a local server?

Correctly configured — yes. Microsoft invests billions in security, and physical access to its data centres is far stricter than your server room. But 'correctly configured' is the critical phrase — which is why you come to specialists.

How fast can we start?

Technically — within an hour. Practically — with architecture planning, a migration schedule and security setup — 2–4 weeks depending on scope.
