Azure cloud capacity can be easily integrated with virtual machines right into the machine for performing global load balancing whenever you need to access it, get high-performance on-demand computing services.

Open-source, but with more options

Microsoft Enterprise applications

It has become easier to deploy Microsoft enterprise applications on the Azure virtual machines. Get stability, guidance, and performance for everything—Dynamics, SharePoint, Machine Learning, and SQL Server—while running on Azure. You also get round the clock technical support that covers everything in the cloud infrastructure of cloud applications.

Powerful for every business

Configure the performance and size of the virtual machines for handling some of the largest business requirements. Get faster performances with minimal latency, higher disk performance, and higher memory.

Virtual Machines
