Public Cloud
The explosive demand for public cloud creates significant opportunities for partners offering solutions and services for Microsoft Azure.
Azure was the first public cloud provider to support all three service models, IaaS, PaaS and SaaS and it continues to outperform in offering partners choice, flexibility, and speed-to-revenue as a result.
Azure for PaaS: partners and their customers can cut coding time, and development capabilities without adding headcount, develop for multiple platforms more easily and benefit from pay-as-you-go models that make more sophisticated software, business intelligence and analytics solution add on’s more cost accessible.
Azure for IaaS: Modern workplaces are complex. Enabling remote work infrastructure, responding to cyberattacks, and dealing with pandemics or natural disasters, can create a cash crunch. Azure helps partners and their customer tackle constantly changing conditions with highly available, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Azure for SaaS: There is high demand from customers for access to business applications while avoiding heavy investment in hardware, middleware and software. Azure responds to this demand by making its simplest Office tools and its most sophisticated applications, such as ERP and CRM available on a SaaS basis. Azure multi-tenancy makes sense if you are looking to serve a large number of users but need to isolate application data from other tenanted customers.
Azure takes the complexity out of offering optimized performance for your customers’ applications, even when user numbers are constantly fluctuating.
Cloud Operations
DevOps is supposed to be about collaboration, but the reality is operations teams need an entirely different set of tools to handle the automation of the runbooks that keep software chugging.
Octopus Cloud makes it possible to stop fragmented automation tooling from stalling development and operations teams. Enable developers, release managers and operations team to bring all cloud automation together in one place with Octopus Cloud.
