Jatinder Singh, Director of Customer Success, Microsoft delivers the keynote address where he elaborated on the functionalities of Microsoft Azure with use cases.
“Even if you have the vision to hold everything in cloud, there could be some applications that for some reasons you would not be able to move to cloud. It means that you would have to maintain two environments. One, on-premise, and the other on Cloud. There are complexities because you have to have talent who needs to maintain certain on-premise services and certain services on the cloud as well.
Microsoft Azure gives you a functionality where, a public cloud can actually be used in the Data Centre, and the enterprise is not required to leverage its resources to manage two different clouds. Microsoft spends a lot on security. Microsoft Cyber Defense Operations Center has more than 3,500 full-time security professionals and has a $1 Billion annual cyber security investment.”
