Public Cloud | Azure

Overview

Realise true cloud value with Azure

Microsoft Azure is one of the world’s fastest growing public clouds. Renowned for its AI and machine learning capabilities, Azure has been embraced by businesses across the globe to turn ideas into innovation and create extraordinary experiences for customers.

For all its advantages, change is rarely easy: moving to Azure can be complex, and many organisations still struggle to realise true value from its elastic pay-as-you-go IT services. How do you ensure that you’re not paying too much for cloud? How do you know which workloads to transition, and when? And, once you’re there, how do you get the most from Azure’s powerful suite of tools?

Data#3 is here to support your Azure journey. Our Azure team proudly holds the most local certifications for Azure in Australia. With deep expertise and a Microsoft partner since 1994, we are Microsoft’s only Australian partner to have obtained both the Azure Expert Managed Service Provider and Azure Modernisation Factory competencies.

Understanding the Azure Cloud journey

Many of the organisations we work with have exercised caution, starting out with established cloud applications like Office 365, or trying infrastructure as a service (IaaS) for some workloads. Others have gone all-in. No two cloud journeys are identical, with many choices depending on compliance obligations, risk profile, existing infrastructure investment, availability of skills, and organisational culture.

Data#3’s cloud experts recognise that understanding your organisation’s cloud profile is essential to knowing what workloads to move to the cloud, which cloud service is right, and when to transition. Our consultants are also skilled at managing the human change that comes with adopting new cloud workloads.

Data#3 uses a five-step approach to assess your application inventory prior to considering workload transition to Azure. The five Rs are rehost, refactor, rearchitect, rebuild or replace. If you’re already using Azure, it’s most likely that you’ve used the rehost approach with your IaaS lift-and-shift into Azure. The next step in your cloud adoption is to modernise your rehosted applications.

Migrate, modernise, optimise

As you move more complex workloads to Azure, the need to modernise rehosted applications grows. Data#3 has deep experience in migrating, modernising and optimising workloads for cloud.

A simple lift-and-shift of VMs to Azure won’t unlock the true power of cloud. To realise real value, you need to strategically modernise critical application and tap into Managed Azure services for complete peace of mind that your Azure environment delivers on your business goals.
