Here are some numerical facts about Azure you should know to trust your cloud
Azure tends to be less expensive, reliable, flexible, and more secure than on-premise servers. With the Azure cloud, maintenance downtime, theft, or damage is almost next to existent. One can scale up or down the resources as per the need. Also, you typically pay only for the services you use, which provides a level of ease and cost-control that’s almost impossible to achieve with on-site infrastructure.

Cloud means security. And, Azure offers a proactive approach to security, compliance, and unparalleled privacy measures. As an organization, you need to choose a BCDR strategy that keeps your data safe, your apps and workloads run properly when unwanted downtime occurs.
BCDR strategy contributes to two services namely Azure Site Recovery and Azure backup which protects the data at both VM level and Site level.
Azure Site Recovery: When an outage occurs you are required to run your site, services or applications on Azure or a secondary location
Azure Backup: Restore your data or infrastructure to the existing or a new location when you have a loss or corrupted data
Build, develop, and deploy your favorite web as well as mobile apps on a highly secure cloud platform. With Azure app service, you not only get the power of Azure but, it also makes those apps load balance, auto scale, and automated management.

You can increase the reach of your on-premise datacentre with the most scalable, trusted, and reliable cloud. Azure lets you deliver services at the scale you need to reach your customers and partners, wherever they are.
Also, keep your data safeguard with the Azure Active Directory, a universal platform to manage and secure identities. It helps protect your business from 99.9% cybersecurity attacks with single sign-on and multifactor authentication methods.
With Microsoft Azure IoT services, you can monitor assets to improve efficiencies, drive operational performance to enable innovation, and leverage advanced data analytics to transform your company with new business models and revenue streams.
