What is Window Azure?

Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that enables you to quickly build, deploy, and manage applications across a global network of datacenters that are managed by Microsoft. Azure enables cloud computing. Cloud computing is the delivery of computing capabilities as a service. Cloud computing makes it easy to access IT resources such as computers, networking, and storage.

You can deploy Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 on Azure. When you do, you may realize the following benefits:

·       Reduce costs

·       Save time

·       Gain flexibility

Azure offers three types of services:-

·       Software-as-a-Service (SaaS):- You use a web browser to use applications that are hosted in the cloud.

·       Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS):- You don’t manage or control the network servers or operating system.  It allows you to focus on the business logic of applications.

·       Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS):- You have control over your virtual machines and the network configuration, but you don’t have to worry about hardware.
