What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure is Microsoft's public cloud platform, offering on-demand computing, storage, databases, networking, AI and analytics services from data centers around the world. Customers rent what they need and pay for usage, rather than buying and running their own servers.
Why it matters for your business
Azure fits naturally with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, so businesses on the Microsoft stack can host custom apps, data and AI workloads with shared identity and billing.
A retailer moves its order API from an aging office server to Azure App Service, adds an Azure SQL database and sets up automatic backups and scaling for holiday traffic.
