Here are the latest Microsoft Azure updates – with holistic benefits of growing return on investments, creating more efficient sales cycles, and increasing leads.
July’s Microsoft Inspire event introduced a number of exciting new updates to the Microsoft suite. It was announced that the three key areas of growth for Microsoft Azure this year are:
- Innovation with new cloud-native experiences.
- Modernisation of app and data estates.
- Migration and modernisation of infrastructure and mission-critical workloads.
Introducing the new Microsoft Azure features that can be deployed to assist with these…
Azure Migration and Modernisation Program
This is a hero program to provide Microsoft partners with pain-free migration and modernisation of apps, data and infrastructure. This is beneficial to our customers as it allows us to enhance the scale of migrations through new modernisation capabilities in Azure Migrate. The program helps save money on cloud migration journeys, as organisations receive offers and incentives tailored to their needs. Additionally, support is provided through extended coverage and assistance at every stage of migration.
New cloud-native experiences
Applications using Microsoft Azure as the cloud platform assist organisations in widening access to data with insights to drive more efficient decision-making and improve customer experiences. Telefónica Tech enables this by working with clients to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) and globally scalable databases to build cloud apps.
Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform
Microsoft Partners can utilise the newly released Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform to modernise applications and data estates quickly and seamlessly. This end-to-end program ensures real-time adaptability by integrating analytics and insights, databases and governance to give organisations more control over their data estate and allow for more time to be invested in creating value. A key benefit of this program is that it can be applied no matter what stage of the digital modernisation process your organisation is in.
Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty
This new feature of Microsoft Azure is aimed at enabling public sector organisations to embrace digital transformation, enhancing social and economic growth and improving the services they offer to customers. Microsoft Cloud for Sovereignty ensures that strict compliance, security, and policy requirements are met whilst workloads are digitally transformed to assist in accuracy and efficiency. By providing more control over sensitive data as well as enhanced transparency to meet operational and governance cloud processes, this feature is tailored to meet the digital challenges faced by organisations in the public sector.
Azure confidential computing
Microsoft Azure confidential computing keeps data private amongst participants via secure multiparty data analytics. Microsoft Azure confidential computing is a new Azure feature that protects your data during cloud migration processes. This is performed by encrypting data in memory within hardware-based execution environments. Once the cloud environment is provisioned, the data is processed securely. These security measures are put in place to prevent cloud providers, administrators, and users from accessing sensitive data.
Microsoft Azure’s cost-flexible cloud infrastructure capabilities with almost limitless scale can drive your organisation’s modernisation and cloud migration journey.
