Azure Managed Services
Many businesses are now looking to the scale and reach of the Microsoft Azure platform. Core Desktop is a Tier 1 Microsoft Partner and can assist in every area of the migration and ongoing operations of this utility-based platform. Ensure that your scope, architecture and management includes everything it needs to excel and transform your business forever. Core Desktop can show you the most reliable and cost-effective way of leveraging Azure, or a combination of Azure and Private Cloud infrastructure to provide a unique and innovative hybrid cloud solution that instantly elevates your business.
Microsoft Azure Managed Services by Core Desktop
Microsoft Azure is growing in scale and presence around the globe. Increasingly, this collection of integrated cloud services is delivering some of the world’s best new features while maintaining excellent service levels for all applications. But managing the complexity and ensuring that advancements within the platform can be adopted and optimised may be challenging.
Core Desktop has achieved Tier 1 QMTH Partner status and will help you design, build and deploy any / all of your specific business applications or requirements using any combination of Azure or hybrid cloud approach.
Our customers reside nationally and internationally and obtain services through Microsoft’s global network of Data Centres as well as Core Desktop private cloud infrastructure. Understanding how, what and when to use certain Azure services, as well as leveraging private cloud assets, drives maximum value for our customers spend. We can usually save our customers thousands per annum by deploying services smartly.
How do we get started?
Core Desktop will assess your existing IT environment and design a solution that takes advantage of all the business benefits afforded by a cloud solution. Inherently, business elements such as ease of use, security, risk mitigation, performance, flexibility and practicality are all incorporated. All costs are considered and decisions to employ a strictly Azure-based deployment versus a hybrid-based deployment can be made at this time. Managed Services are delivered on an ongoing basis with skilled, trained engineers that are hyper responsive and customer focused.
Our customer Azure subscriptions are all augmented with our own Core reporting services so there are no surprises throughout the month leading to unexpected spending. Our Core portals provide an up-to-date tally of Azure spending so that resource and licensing consumption is transparent and agile enough to be adjusted from month to month, hour by hour and minute by minute. Our Azure costs are the same as purchasing direct from Microsoft, with the added bonus of incorporating hybrid cloud infrastructure that can save thousands.
Once you are set up, we then provide a range of project services that can be integrated into your environment. You can receive direct access to your Azure portal in addition to having it fully managed for you, and we run constant and proactive monitoring on your environment to prevent downtime and minimise risks.
How can you benefit?
The value of a cloud solution, whether private, public or hybrid, is well documented across thousands of published cases. What’s most relevant, is understanding how to take advantage of all available technologies while maintaining security, availability and a reasonable, if not lower than typical, monthly spending across your environment. It is here that Core Desktop can introduce several elements to significantly reduce your spending via the adoption of a hybrid cloud environment that does not compromise any critical Enterprise IT features.
