Why Azure?
Maximize Value from Existing Microsoft Investment
There are three different perspectives that enterprises can maximize the value from your existing Microsoft investment while migrating to the cloud. Firstly Microsoft offers integrated experience across three cloud platforms from Modern Workplace Services (such as Office 365, Microsoft 365 or Teams Voice), Azure cloud platform to Business application (like D365 or Power Platform). Secondly, Azure capitalizes your existing Microsoft investment with Azure Hybrid Benefit, which is a licencing benefit that saves your significantly by running your Microsoft workloads in the cloud. It works by letting the use of your on-premises Software Assurance-enabled Windows Server and SQL Server licenses on Azure. And now, this benefit applies to RedHat and AUSE Linux subscriptions too. By migrating EOS Windows server 2008R2 to cloud can protect enterprises against security or compliance issue with extended security update. Last but not least, Microsoft Azure extends your organization’s existing knowledge and a consistent experience across your on-premises and cloud technologies through integration with Office 365 and Active Directory.
