Managed Microsoft Azure From TierPoint

Realize the value of Azure while keeping costs under control

Do you have the expertise and resources needed to realize the full value you can get with Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft Azure is an open and flexible hyperscale cloud platform that enables organizations to quickly build, deploy, and manage applications at scale – but that platform can be challenging. Azure’s numerous offerings are continually growing and changing, contributing to its complexity. How can your IT team keep up?

Customer Success Stories

E-SoftSys

We tried a couple of hosting companies during the first few years, but they didn’t quite meet our expectations. We knew we needed a reliable hosting company that could provide great customer support and ensure minimum downtime for our customers. So we provided TierPoint with an extensive checklist of our requirements. Based on the response, we knew we had found the company we wanted to work with.

TierPoint came to the table with a solution that met all our requirements within the budget we had assigned. The systems worked flawlessly and the TierPoint security staff was a joy to work with as we installed and learned the new system. We couldn’t be happier!

Top 3 concerns when moving to Azure

1. Lack of Resources and Expertise

It’s not easy being an expert in everything you need to run your business. Your IT team needs to focus on your core business and strategic initiatives that add value to your company. Our core business is managing cloud environments. It’s what we do. We keep up with the latest Azure services and updates, so you don’t have to. Our teams get continual training to stay up-to-date and on top of their game for you.

2. Security

For most organizations, a public cloud is going to be more secure than their privately owned data center because reputable cloud providers have greater resources to make security a priority. Microsoft dedicates top-notch security teams to ensure their facilities are protected 24×7 and addresses evolving threats promptly with the latest security patches. TierPoint can also help determine if additional security tools and protocols are needed to meet your requirements, including compliance with industry standards and government regulations.

3. Flexibility

In today’s world, everything is moving quickly. IT constraints and delays just don’t cut it. Whether you need to manage expansion through acquisitions, new products, or territories, Microsoft Azure provides flexible capacity to expand with your needs. Azure’s pay-as-you-go model lets you spin up resources on demand and allows you to stop using them just as quickly, so you don’t need to keep paying for infrastructure you aren’t using.

TierPoint’s Managed Azure Isn’t All-or-Nothing

Some applications are better suited for Azure, while others may be better off residing in a private cloud or even on-premises. It’s important to work with a partner that can help you choose the best options for your business. We find most organizations best meet their needs with a hybrid approach.

We’ll work with you to determine which workloads will work best in the cloud, and we can deliver all flavors of environments so you can utilize a single cloud provider.
