Benefits of cloud hosting with Microsoft Azure
Why organisations are moving their Sage systems to Azure.
Running Sage on servers in your own office means buying for peak demand, planning around power outages and keeping specialists on hand. Hosting on Microsoft Azure moves that burden to the cloud. Here is what changes.
01 · High visibility & scalability
Scale with demand, not guesswork.
- Increase or decrease resources and services based on what your business needs right now.
- Azure automatically allocates computing resources to handle fluctuating workloads.
- Set scaling to happen automatically, or apply it manually when you choose.
- Vertical and horizontal scaling give you options to fit your budget and needs, locally and globally.
02 · Fault tolerance & disaster recovery
Business continuity, built in.
- Premium business continuity services, designed to keep downtime to a minimum.
- Your data is backed up and replicated, so natural disasters and power outages do not take you offline.
- Applications keep running while infrastructure maintenance and updates take place.
03 · Global
Close to your users, wherever they are.
Microsoft Azure is a global service with fully redundant data centres around the world, so response times are good almost anywhere your teams and customers work.

04 · Saves time & money
Pay for what you use. Nothing more.
- Consumption-based, pay-as-you-go fees instead of up-front hardware.
- Services that analyse and report on your applications, databases and more, so you can improve operations and optimise spending.
- No IT experts needed on-premises: Microsoft maintains the platform through PaaS and SaaS services.
