Features of Microsoft Azure It's easy to see why so many firms utilise Microsoft Azure if you understand what it is and how it operates. There are various reasons why companies opt to make the switch, in my opinion. Azure offers so many features that covering them all in a single blog post would be practically impossible. The following are the six most important qualities for most firms and explained in devops engineer course. According to a recent poll by Information Technology Intelligence Consulting, 79 percent of businesses demand "mission-critical hardware, operating systems, and key line of business applications" to have a minimum of 99.99 percent uptime. According to the survey results, 81 percent of organisations (from 47 vertical markets) believe the average hourly cost of downtime surpasses $1,000. One-third of respondents estimated that a single hour of downtime might cost anywhere between $1 million and $5 million. Is it any surprise that most firms place a high priority on catastrophe recovery while looking for quicker ways to implement it? Azure provides your company with a powerful disaster recovery solution that is considerably less expensive than traditional computing environments. Azure gives you access to: Multiple datacenters for data storage, allowing you to offer cloud services in different parts of the world. Azure Site Recovery is a service that replicates workloads from a primary site to a secondary site to ensure that your important business applications continue online during an outage or disruption. In the event of a region-specific failure, Azure Traffic Manager automates network routing to various locations (predetermined by you). All data you store on Azure is replicated three times, either to a single datacenter or to a separate datacenter. Changes in elasticity are necessary and can be made in a matter of seconds.
