<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIs Azure used for Disaster Recovery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Cloud based DR offers a secure and scalable end-to-end backup and disaster recovery solution which can be integrated with on-premises data protection systems. The nature of Azure means that a company\u2019s back up data will be stored off site and available in the case of an on-premise IT issue. As the data is stored outside a company\u2019s core IT systems, it is also more protected from issues such as ransomware. Multiple copies of back up data can be created and stored on different data centres in the Azure cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of a major IT failure, a business can quickly and simply create cloud-based systems, using the back up data, to recover business functionality. Because of the pay-as-you-use nature of Azure, this provides a very cost-effective solution for a business, only paying for the cloud-based services in the rare case of an in-house IT failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How expensive is Azure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n The cost of Microsoft Azure depends on what services you use, so there is no simple answer. There is the option of starting a 30-day free trial, which also includes some free services for the next twelve months. This may help an individual or small business to evaluate Azure in an extremely cost-effective manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whilst Azure offers competitive pay-as-you-go pricing, for larger projects and businesses, there are fixed-cost options for periods of 12 to 36 months, which offer substantial discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
