Microsoft Azure is a Cloud platform that can be used as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), or even Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). This covers all of your possible needs. So, whether you are partially running software in a Cloud solution or migrating your organisation to the Cloud, it works. Azure development allows both the smallest and largest businesses to benefit from what it offers. It also has a pay-as-you-go pricing structure and keeps your data safe. All the upkeep can be done using their in-house tools, so hardware upkeep and maintenance is at a minimum. This saves both time and money.
