IN DEPTH DIVE
Understanding Azure
Azure IaaS
Azure IaaS
Azure’s Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is an instant computing infrastructure, provisioned and managed over the Internet.
IaaS quickly scales up and down with demand, only letting you pay for what you use. It helps you avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing your own physical servers and other data centre infrastructure.
Each resource is offered as a separate service component, and you only need to rent a particular one for as long as you need it. A cloud computing service provider, such as Azure, manages the infrastructure, while you purchase, install, configure and manage your own software – operating systems, middleware and applications.
Azure IaaS is typically used to, test and develop cloud environments, host websites, provide you with the means to back up & recover data, support your web applications and crucially, provide you with big data analysis.
Azure PaaS
Azure PaaS
Azure’s Platform as a service (PaaS) is a complete development and deployment environment within the cloud, with resources that enable you to deliver everything from simple cloud-based apps to sophisticated, cloud-enabled enterprise applications.
Like IaaS, PaaS includes infrastructure – servers, storage and networking – but also middleware, development tools, business intelligence (BI) services, database management systems and more. PaaS is designed to support the complete web application life cycle: building, testing, deploying, managing, and updating.
Azure PaaS allows you to avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing software licences, the underlying application infrastructure and middleware and additional development tools.
Azure SaaS
Azure SaaS
Software as a service (SaaS) allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet – Common examples are using e-mail and office tools such as Microsoft Office 365.
SaaS provides a complete software solution that you purchase on a pay-as-you-go basis.
You rent the use of an app for your organisation, and your users connect to it over the Internet, usually with a web browser. All of the underlying infrastructure, middleware, app software and app data are located in your provider’s data centre.
SaaS allows your organisation to get up and running quickly with an app, at minimal upfront cost.
Azure Security
Azure Security
Secure cloud-first solutions are at the heart of everything we do and with cyber security as a priority, we favour Microsoft’s Azure Security Centre.
