Microsoft Azure Development
Enterprise cloud platform with deep Microsoft ecosystem integration.
What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure is the second-largest cloud platform, known for its deep integration with Microsoft products — Active Directory, Office 365, Dynamics 365, and .NET. Azure operates in 60+ regions, the most of any cloud provider, and holds more compliance certifications than any competitor.
Azure's hybrid cloud capabilities are unmatched, with Azure Arc allowing organizations to manage on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge resources from a single control plane. This makes it ideal for enterprises transitioning from on-premises infrastructure.
Used by 95% of Fortune 500 companies, Azure provides services for compute, databases, AI, DevOps, and IoT. Its strength in enterprise identity management (Azure AD) and compliance makes it the default choice for regulated industries.
Why GRADAX uses Microsoft Azure
We use Azure for enterprise clients who are invested in the Microsoft ecosystem — organizations using Active Directory, Office 365, or .NET applications. Azure's seamless integration with these products reduces complexity and cost.
Azure is also our recommendation for clients in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government) who need specific compliance certifications that Azure provides out of the box.
