Microsoft cloud
The aim of cloud computing is to make it easier for organizations to operate by allowing them to concentrate on what they do and what they are best at. Cloud services provide the purchase, support, and management of computing resources. Organizations are now free from the need to maintain their computing facilities and can concentrate their energy, time, and money on strategic goals.
Consider cloud computing like storage space, CPU cycles, or computers from another organization that are used as renting services. Usually, you don’t pay a fixed sum but will pay for the cloud services that you are using. When your business needs change, this situation lets you lower your operating costs, operate your facilities more effectively, and scale up. Your business will have its own unique needs. To meet those needs, Microsoft offers a vast range of services.
Microsoft cloud offers cloud computing services that are flexible and cost efficient. Microsoft cloud computing services will generally include computing power, storage, networking, and analytics. For more information, see Principals of cloud computing and deployment.
Microsoft cloud provides a platform that uniquely comes together so that all organizations can have digital transformation enabled. Microsoft cloud is divided into three main services:
- Microsoft Azure
- Microsoft 365
- Microsoft Dynamics 365
