IaaS

Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) allows organizations to quickly create secure and scalable infrastructure—while reducing the time and money spent to plan, procure, manage and support those assets. With IaaS, a business can simply rent or lease infrastructure to meet common use cases, such as:

Test/Development/Disaster Recovery: Quickly roll out infrastructure to support test and development efforts, or operate virtualized co-location/disaster recovery sites.

Storage & Backup: IaaS-based storage is inherently designed for scalability and meeting unpredictable or fluctuations in demand, while ensuring ease of backup and recovery of datasets.

Web Applications: IaaS infrastructure can be used to support all aspects of web application hosting, including storage, virtual application servers, and networking resources.

Active Directory

Azure Active Directory is the cloud version of on-premises Active Directory, and serves as your virtual identity provider. Azure Active Directory facilitates user logins and group management, conditional access controls, risk-based policies/reporting, along with many other identity & access management-related features. The B&R team are experts in the deployment, roll-out and configuration of Azure Active Directory, including the configuration of Azure Active Directory Connect (AADC).

Information Protection

Azure Information Protection (AIP) provides data encryption and protection capabilities. With AIP, a customer can protect files or other resources via encryption at the object level. The file may be stored anywhere, but the ability to open the file is protected by AIP and the access controls specified. This means that administrators of the file storage do not have access to the file. This technology provides protection against most breach scenarios and is excellent for confidential data.

PaaS

Many organizations are looking to move away from the usage of servers/virtual machines to host their web sites, applications, APIs, databases, and other solutions. Moving to a Platform as a Service model allows organizations to focus on the solutions themselves and not the overhead. PaaS includes a number of IaaS components (such as server & storage solutions), but expands on those offerings with development tools, database management, and more.

Development Framework: PaaS allows developers to embrace a common framework to develop cloud solutions. These frameworks accelerate development, promote iterative and agile methodologies, and allow for quicker rollout of new solutions.

Application Lifecycle Management: Azure PaaS offerings support all phases of your application lifecycle management, including build, test, development, management and updates within a single integrated environment.
