Are You Getting The Most Out Of Your Azure Investments?

According to Gartner, Microsoft Azure is the second largest player in the cloud infrastructure services market. CBInsights research shows, however, that Azure has the most regional presence (twice as much as AWS and Google Cloud) globally. Although Microsoft does not disclose Azure revenues, analysts estimate that Azure is doing $9 billion per year, with more than 80% annual growth rate. Enterprises are drawn to the fast-expanding Azure ecosystem (130+ services at last count) for its global scale, diversity of offerings, and fast-paced innovation.   

If you’re using Azure services for your enterprise workloads, here are some practical challenges that you are probably encountering every day when it comes to Azure cloud management and monitoring:

  • How do you deliver a unified view of Azure cloud consumption across different teams with multiple Azure accounts in your enterprise?
  • Can you keep track of how many Azure services each business unit is consuming today?
  • Do you have the ability to dynamically discovery and monitor ephemeral resources in your Azure stack?
  • How do you keep track of escalating cloud costs? Do you receive alerts when your cloud consumption exceeds your budgeted thresholds?
  • Can you understand which services account for most of your monthly Azure bills?
  • Can you deploy the latest patches for a hotfix on your Azure virtual machines without manual intervention?
  • Can you access query-level performance insights for tuning and troubleshooting your Azure databases?
