MS Azure Cloud

IT teams are under considerable pressure to deliver solutions to the business quickly, at low cost, and without risk. With the public cloud, you can better control costs, align capacity with actual needs, and pay according to usage.

 

AXI helps your organization make the most of the Microsoft Azure public cloud.

 

Together, we determine which business applications are best suited to the Azure cloud, which can be transferred to the AXI Cloud, and which are best kept on-premises.

1. Azure inrichten, configureren en migreren

 

Een succesvolle overstap naar Azure begint vóór de eerste resource wordt aangemaakt. AXI analyseert uw bestaande omgeving en bepaalt samen met u welke workloads het best naar Azure verhuizen, welke in een private cloud thuishoren en welke on-premise blijven.

Architectuur & advies
We ontwerpen een Azure-architectuur die aansluit op uw bedrijfsdoelen, compliance-vereisten en budgetgrenzen. Geen standaardsjabloon, maar een aanpak op maat.

Configuratie & inrichting
Van subscription-structuur en identity management tot netwerksegmentatie en security policies: we configureren uw Azure-omgeving volgens best practices en uw eigen vereisten.

 

Migratie zonder onderbrekingen
Of het nu gaat om servers, databases, applicaties of volledige datacenters, onze engineers zorgen voor een gecontroleerde migratie met minimale impact op uw dagelijkse werking. We hanteren bewezen migratiestrategieën (lift & shift, replatform of modernisering) afhankelijk van wat uw situatie vereist.

 

 

 

Integratie met uw bestaande omgeving
Azure werkt zelden als eiland. We zorgen voor een stevige integratie met uw private cloud, on-premise systemen en bestaande applicaties, zodat data consistent en snel beschikbaar is doorheen de volledige omgeving.

2. Azure beheer: proactief en structureel

 

Een goed ingericht Azure-platform is pas het begin. Wie na de migratie geen structurele opvolging voorziet, verliest gaandeweg grip op kosten, security en technische gezondheid.

 

AXI neemt dat beheer van u over met Azure Proactive Care, een managed service waarbij onze specialisten uw omgeving permanent bewaken, periodiek analyseren en gerichte aanbevelingen geven.

Wat Azure Proactive Care omvat:

Kostenbeheer 
Budgetalerts, anomaly detection en maandelijkse kostenrapporten met optimalisatieadvies per resourcegroep

 

Security & compliance 
Continue bewaking van uw Azure Secure Score, snelle remediëring bij afwijkingen en periodieke verbeterplannen

 

Technische proactieve opvolging 
Dagelijkse controle van backups, certificaten en kritieke services, zodat problemen worden opgepikt vóór gebruikers er hinder van ondervinden

 

Lifecycle management 
Geautomatiseerde security updates, opvolging van end-of-life aankondigingen en periodiek innovatie-advies

 

U behoudt volledige controle en transparantie via dashboards, rapporten en regelmatige overlegmomenten met ons team.
