SOURCEPASS CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR MICROSOFT

Azure, Right-Sized for
What You Actually Need

 

Migration, cost optimization, and hybrid infrastructure
(including Azure Local) sized to what your business actually uses.

 

Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s cloud computing platform — 200+ services for running applications, data, and infrastructure without owning physical servers. Sourcepass helps organizations migrate to Azure, control what they spend, and run hybrid environments like Azure Local, always tied back to what your business actually uses.

A Large Platform Like Azure
Is Easy to Overpay For 

 

Azure is a large, flexible platform, which is part of why it’s easy to end up paying for more than you need — or configuring it in a way that creates risk down the line.

Sourcepass works with Azure across its full range, from a first cloud migration to Azure Local, Microsoft’s option for running Azure services on your own hardware, always tied back to what your business actually uses.

Migrate: Move on-premises servers and legacy applications to Azure (lift-and-shift, re-platform, or refactor).

Optimize Cost: Right-size resources and apply Azure Reservations, savings plans, Azure Hybrid Benefit, and Azure Cost Management to cut waste. 

Run Hybrid: Connect on-premises and cloud with Azure Local and hybrid architecture.

Deliver Virtual Desktops: Azure Virtual Desktop for secure, scalable hybrid work (covered in depth on its own page).

Build Landing Zones: Best-practice Azure foundations for governance, security, and scale.

Modernize Apps: Host scalable, containerized workloads and put Azure’s analytics and AI services to use.

What is Microsoft Azure?

 

Azure is Microsoft’s cloud computing platform — more than 200 products and services running across Microsoft’s global network of data centers, covering everything from virtual machines and storage to databases, AI, and networking.

Instead of buying and maintaining physical servers, a business rents exactly the computing capacity it needs and pays for what it actually uses.

Businesses use Azure to host applications and websites, store and back up data, run databases, power business intelligence and analytics, support disaster recovery, and increasingly run AI and machine-learning workloads.

Azure Local extends this same platform to your own on-premises hardware — running virtual machines, containers, and select Azure services locally with central management through the cloud — for situations where data needs to stay physically local for latency, compliance, or connectivity reasons.
