8 Things You Need to Know About Microsoft Azure Cloud Hosting

What Is Microsoft Azure Public Cloud Hosting? 

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform to access and manage resources and services provided by Microsoft. Azure’s extensible framework makes it easy for you to operate any Microsoft apps such as Office 365, Exchange Online, Active Directory, and other Microsoft products within your cloud environment.

Azure has 58 interconnected data centres worldwide and is available in 140 countries. This means that users can access it easily through the internet and there’s no need for you to have your own data centres or servers.

What Is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is a collection of online services that organisations can use to host, build and deliver applications over the internet. It is a platform that gives you access to computing resources such as virtual machines, storage, networking, and more. To access computing resources, you simply have to go to a cloud service provider (CSP) and purchase any of their plans.

What is Cloud Hosting?

Cloud hosting is a service that runs under cloud computing. Users can attain computing resources from a cloud computing provider, which will then be used to host data or services. Cloud hosting solutions are deployed in a network of connected physical and virtual cloud servers that host applications and websites.

What Is a Cloud Service Provider (CSP)?

Cloud Service Providers (CSP) are organisations that provide cloud-based infrastructure, networks, and computing services such as public clouds, managed private clouds, and more. A CSP has huge data centres with hundreds of servers, storage systems, and experts managing the IT infrastructures.

What Are the Types of Deployment Models?

Public Cloud- Public Cloud computing resources are delivered to the public over the internet by a cloud service provider (CSP), which is a third-party service provider.

Private Cloud-Private Cloud computing resources are limited to one organisation and operated exclusively by that organisation.

Hybrid Cloud- Hybrid Cloud model is a combination of public and private cloud specialities.

Shinjiru offers all 3 types of deployment models, and you can choose whichever model is suitable for you.

What Are the Types of Service Model?

Cloud computing is divided into 3 categories of service models, which are:

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)- Hardware resources are given to end-users to install their applications and data storage.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)- Service providers will supply end-users with applications, software, Operating Systems, and databases.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)- Software and application hosted by a third-party cloud provider will be delivered through a network connection.

What are the Benefits of Cloud Hosting? 

Cloud hosting comes with multiple benefits such as scalability, reliability, high security, visibility, and many more. With cloud hosting you only have to pay for what you use, preventing wasted resources and funds. On top of that, you’ll have more accessible and faster provisions for scaling up or down.

Since a CSP provides cloud hosting, they manage and maintain the servers in a high-security facility which saves your time and energy from monitoring and managing them on your own. In addition to that, they have robust disaster data recovery measures in place to ensure faster and easier data recovery.
