Advantages of Microsoft Azure managed by Syntax

Flexible

Adjust the infrastructure to your needs through scaling up or down quickly or moving from a 24×7 to a 10×5 availability for systems wherever possible.

Support

Personalized service level agreements (SLAs) with 24/7 help desk.

Agile

Innovate faster with rapid provisioning/deprovisioning of systems. Integrate with new Azure Platform services once they come to life.

Cost-effective

Consumption-based pricing for training, development, test, sandbox, and reference systems. Eliminate the need for on-premises data center upgrades. Flexible on-demand licensing for all your Microsoft Cloud licensing needs. Monthly operational expenditures (OPEX) fees for managed hosting services.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) & Managed IaaS

IaaS offers virtualized computing resources via the cloud. With laaS, you can save on costs associated with purchasing, housing, or maintaining the computer, storage, and network components required to run your business. This alleviates the hassles associated with upgrades, configuration, and support.

Other IaaS benefits include increased agility. Since you pay for these services monthly, you can quickly scale your environment to match your business demands. Many IaaS providers also guarantee their uptime, so you don’t need to worry about your systems crashing.

By outsourcing your data center infrastructure to a specialized managed services and cloud provider like Syntax, you can be more responsive to your business’s growth objectives.

Syntax’s Application Infrastructure-as-a-Service provides a secure, resilient cloud architected to boost the performance of your unique application portfolio.

IaaS

IaaS offers virtualized computing resources via the cloud. In this model, your cloud provider handles your networking, storage, servers, and virtualization.

You can build your own IaaS platform in-house. Alternatively, you can go with a public cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure. These vendors give you a predefined set of services that serve as an on-ramp to the cloud. IaaS providers offer service level agreements (SLAs) on your infrastructure not on your applications so if an application goes down, you are responsible for getting it up and running.

Managed IaaS

An IaaS model requires you to handle much of your IT environment in-house. Many companies don’t realize they need to take care of their backups, applications, and data until after they sign an IaaS contract. Then, months later, they realize that their servers have never been patched and they could lose their data.

With Managed IaaS, you can outsource your infrastructure and its management. This service includes everything that you get with IaaS, along with a team to handle the following:

  • Backup, restoration, and disaster recovery
  • Operating system management
  • Patching
  • Security
  • Monitoring

Your Managed IaaS provider will monitor your infrastructure and systems 24/7. If something happens, they can quickly resolve issues. Your Managed IaaS provider can also give you higher levels of security and performance than you would get with standard IaaS services.
