Northdoor: adding value around Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure is an open, flexible, enterprise-grade cloud computing platform. With both Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings, Azure can help organisations to increase the capacity, flexibility and responsiveness of their IT infrastructure while reducing capital and operational costs. Azure can scale services without limit, and offers multi-region replication and failover to support the highest standards in business continuity. It also meets the latest expectations around hybrid cloud infrastructure, enabling organisations to choose where services will run – either on-premises, in the cloud, or in a seamless blend of the two for maximum flexibility.
Choosing the most appropriate platform for each IT service you run today; building a hybrid cloud that can serve unknown future needs economically; planning and executing the resulting transformation projects; maintaining the future services in an optimised way: all of these requirements may stretch your existing internal skills and capabilities beyond their limits.
Northdoor provides packaged value-add services around Microsoft Azure to help you plan and justify your cloud strategy, define and execute migration projects, and build a coherent hybrid-cloud management capability to help ensure ongoing success. In particular, our clearly defined offerings enable you to get started quickly and choose only the services you need.
With deep expertise in Microsoft Azure cloud technologies and long experience in designing and running world-class infrastructure for companies of all sizes, Northdoor can help your organisation to match IT services to the evolving needs of your business. With a hybrid infrastructure that includes both on-premises and cloud components, created and managed by Northdoor, you can increase flexibility and responsiveness, cut costs and boost resilience – ultimately improving service levels to customers and partners while providing better returns to stakeholders.

Microsoft Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Working with Northdoor, your business can use Microsoft Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) to move existing systems to the cloud for additional capacity and instant scalability without the need to rewrite applications.
Transforming storage through a software-defined approach will provide significant cost advantages and better control over price and performance, as well as seamless and non-disruptive scalability to practically unlimited levels. In addition to this, Microsoft StorSimple can automatically move less frequently accessed data to the cloud while preserving accessibility from on-premises infrastructure.
Integration with Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery will help protect your systems and data in the cloud, enabling rapid and seamless automated recovery.
