SBA’s OCIO requires Microsoft Azure cloud computing services (Note: this is not a service contract that utilizes service employees). Azure is a public cloud computing platform—with solutions including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) that can be used for services such as analytics, virtual computing, storage, networking, etc. In other words, Azure is a huge collection of servers and networking hardware, which runs a complex set of distributed applications. These applications orchestrate the configuration and operation of virtualized hardware and software on those servers. The orchestration of these servers is what makes Azure so beneficial to SBA’s OCIO. Furthermore, Azure benefits include an end-to-end backup and disaster recovery solution is simple, secure, scalable, and cost-effective. Additionally, it can be integrated with on-premises data protection solutions. The Azure backup and disaster recovery solution is simple to architect, cloud-native, highly available, and resilient. Azure is a great tool for data-intensive tasks such as web development, database management, etc.
