Why Use Microsoft Azure?
Azure can be used for analytics, virtual computing, storage, networking, and much more. It can be utilized to replace or supplement your on-premise servers. Azure is fast, flexible, and affordable, and its pricing and capabilities make it the best public cloud offering in the market.
Azure for DR and backup
Azure can be used for data backup and disaster recovery or an alternative to on-premise data centers. Businesses can choose to run some or all of their business applications in Azure.
To ensure availability, Microsoft has Azure data centers located around the world. As of January 2020, Microsoft Azure services are available in 55 regions, spread across 140 countries.
Azure Privacy
Data security concerns and regulatory compliance requirements make privacy a major issue for cloud subscribers. To address these worries, Microsoft has created the online Trust Center, which provides detailed information about the company's security, privacy, and compliance initiatives. According to the Trust Center, Microsoft will only use customer data if it is necessary to provide the agreed-upon services and it will never disclose customer data to government agencies unless it is required by law.
