Questions about Azure.
We already have Microsoft 365. Do we need Azure?
Not if you only need email, files and Teams. Azure comes in when you have software that needs a server, or staff who need the same desktop wherever they are.
What is Azure Virtual Desktop?
A Windows desktop that runs in Azure and is delivered to your staff over the internet. It suits remote teams, shared workers and situations where data should not live on laptops.
Is it cheaper than keeping a server in the office?
For many workloads it is, once you count hardware, power, support and replacement. We compare the two for your situation so you can see the numbers.
What if our internet goes down?
Your servers keep running in Azure. Staff can carry on from another connection, such as home or a phone hotspot, until the office is back.
Do you handle more advanced Azure projects?
We focus on the practical services most businesses use. If you need something more specialized, talk to us and we will tell you whether we are the right fit.
