1. Analyzing Microsoft Azure as IaaS and PaaS
In the presence of Amazon and other legendary cloud computing services, it is
common to see most of the companies not think of any other providers
available in the market. The truth is that many other cloud computing service
providers are equally capable of meeting your IT needs. Microsoft Azure is one
of them, which comes as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), SaaS (Software as a
Service), and PaaS (Platform as a Service). Through this blog post, we learn a
little about Microsoft Azure IaaS and PaaS.
Azure IaaS
Azure, as IaaS, is a perfect solution to achieve greater productivity at less input
costs, thereby letting you achieve higher economies of scale. The service makes
it possible for smaller companies to use multiple advanced technologies,
including hardware, software, storage and other infrastructure, and compete
with larger corporations. Microsoft Azure IaaS allows your company to
compute for a wide range of operating systems and languages including
Windows, Linux, SQL Server, Oracle, and SAP, while eliminating the cost of
purchasing hefty servers and software, which makes it one of the most flexible
cloud solutions out there.

2. Azure PaaS
Although various other effective PaaS cloud providers exist in the market, we
believe that Azure PaaS is one of the most fastest, easiest, and cheapest
solutions for both small and large companies. If you are a developer looking for
a trustable platform for handling simple web applications, then Azure PaaS is
your answer. In fact, by designing applications with Azure, you can ensure that
they are easily scalable and highly available. In addition, increased coding times
and migrating apps to hybrid models is never an issue when you use Azure
PaaS.
Benefits
Here are some of the major benefits of using Azure Iaas and PaaS.
● Lower Total Cost of Ownership or TCO
● Access to unlimited operating systems and languages
● More flexibility
● No server or software purchase or maintenance costs
● Unlimited server and storage space
● Easy scalability and high availability
Azure is Trustable!
Whether you are using Azure as IaaS or PaaS, it would be correct to conclude
that it is one of the most dependable cloud computing service providers to help
you meet your growing IT needs, in a cost-effective manner. Azure, with its
global data centers around the world, provides 99.95 percent of uptime
performance, to help you be on the move 24x7, be it storing data or developing
and running an app.
