How does Microsoft Azure work?
Unlock the full power of the cloud with Azure.
Azure is Microsoft's public cloud platform. Azure offers a large collection of services, which includes platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and managed database service capabilities. However, what exactly is Azure, and how does it work?
Our virtualization technology seamlessly creates, starts, stops, and deletes millions of instances of virtualized hardware for millions of customers simultaneously. Behind the scenes, our datacenters house servers organized into clusters.
These servers, along with our fabric controller software, efficiently allocate resources and monitor server health. Our front end hosts the interfaces and databases necessary for seamless user interaction. With Azure, leave hardware maintenance and upgrades to us, and focus on what truly matters: your business.
