In 2020, the cloud has something for every kind of modern employee. For the accident-prone, there's cloud continuity and data backup. For the collaborator on the go, cloud-based identity management keeps information secure in transit. From energy efficiency to industry compliance, AI to Machine Learning, it's no surprise that the public cloud market is expected to reach $623.3 billion over the next three years.
Microsoft Azure has been a leader in the public cloud space for years, both for Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Storage Services and Application Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). It now accounts for much of Microsoft's largest business segment and is changing standards for user experience, cloud customization, and regulatory compliance. The flexible platform offers a wide range of usage-based migration services across applications, compute, storage, and network - so SMBs get the best ROI on a limited budget.
A strong security practice has always been central to Azure's success. Azure provides simple, easily implemented tools such as multi-factor authentication and application password requirements. It offers threat detection for suspicious user behavior, DDoS protection against malicious traffic, and Azure AD for Single-Sign-On and identity management. Greater investment in AI, Machine Learning, and Advanced Analytics work to further this cybersecurity practice and stay ahead in today's threat landscape.
