Frequently Asked Questions
What is meant by “Azure Infrastructure Solutions”?
Azure Infrastructure Solutions refer to the set of foundation-level cloud services and architectures (compute, storage, networking, identity, security, etc.) on Microsoft Azure that support enterprise workloads. These include infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), networking, virtual machines, storage, policy & governance, automation, and related services.
Why migrate my infrastructure to Azure?
Scalability & Agility — quickly scale up or down based on demand
Operational Efficiency — offload hardware maintenance, benefit from built-in services
Cost Optimization — convert capital expenditures (CapEx) to operational expenditure (OpEx)
Innovation Ready — leverage platform services (like AI, analytics, serverless) on top of your infrastructure
What kinds of workloads can I move to Azure?
You can migrate a wide range of workloads, including:
Traditional server applications (Windows, Linux)
Databases (SQL, NoSQL)
Web applications and APIs
File services, storage, and data lakes
Virtual desktop infrastructures
Dev/test environments
Disaster recovery / business continuity workloads
What is the “lift-and-shift” approach vs “modernization”?
Lift-and-shift (rehost) means moving your existing applications and virtual machines to Azure with minimal changes.
Modernization means refactoring or rearchitecting parts of your application to take advantage of Azure native or platform services (e.g. converting a VM + database to managed database services, microservices, serverless) for better scaling, manageability, and cost.
We help you evaluate which parts should be lifted, which modernized, and what hybrid/mixed approach makes sense for your business.
How do you ensure security, compliance, and data protection in Azure?
We employ a multi-layered strategy:
