Frequently Asked Questions

Azure Infrastructure Solutions refer to the set of foundation-level cloud services and architectures (compute, storage, networking, identity, security, etc.) on Microsoft Azure that support enterprise workloads. These include infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), networking, virtual machines, storage, policy & governance, automation, and related services.

  • Scalability & Agility — quickly scale up or down based on demand
  • Operational Efficiency — offload hardware maintenance, benefit from built-in services
  • Cost Optimization — convert capital expenditures (CapEx) to operational expenditure (OpEx)
  • Security & Compliance — Azure offers built-in security, encryption, regulatory compliance features
  • Innovation Ready — leverage platform services (like AI, analytics, serverless) on top of your infrastructure

You can migrate a wide range of workloads, including:

  • Traditional server applications (Windows, Linux)
  • Databases (SQL, NoSQL)
  • Web applications and APIs
  • File services, storage, and data lakes
  • Virtual desktop infrastructures
  • Dev/test environments
  • Disaster recovery / business continuity workloads
  • Lift-and-shift (rehost) means moving your existing applications and virtual machines to Azure with minimal changes.
  • Modernization means refactoring or rearchitecting parts of your application to take advantage of Azure native or platform services (e.g. converting a VM + database to managed database services, microservices, serverless) for better scaling, manageability, and cost.

We help you evaluate which parts should be lifted, which modernized, and what hybrid/mixed approach makes sense for your business.

We employ a multi-layered strategy:

 

  • Encryption — data at rest, data in transit, and even data in use (through confidential computing)
  • Identity & Access Management (IAM) — role-based access controls, Azure AD integration
  • Network segmentation and security controls — network security groups, virtual networks, firewall policies
  • Continuous monitoring & audit — diagnostic logs, security alerts, Azure Sentinel integration
  • Governance & Compliance — use of Azure Policy, Blueprints, compliance assessments, regulatory audits
  • Disaster Recovery & Backups — region-redundant storage, geo-replication, DR drills
