Microsoft Azure: Configuration, Management & Integration in Australia

Azure provides on-demand, global scale cloud resources that we can leverage to quickly provision infrastructure, storage, and networks to meet changing needs.

We build and deploy secure cloud-native apps, AI & machine learning models, serverless functions, microservices, and robust backends on Azure's trusted platform.

We follow Azure security best practices and leverage tools like role-based access, encryption, logging, and monitoring to build compliant solutions that meet regulations like HIPAA and PCI DSS.

C9's Azure development team has extensive experience in building a wide range of cloud-based solutions using Microsoft Azure, including:

• Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): C9 can design and deploy virtual machines, virtual networks, and other Azure IaaS components to build highly scalable and resilient infrastructure.
• Azure Platform as a Service (PaaS): C9 can leverage Azure PaaS offerings, such as App Service, Azure Functions, and Azure SQL Database, to develop and host web applications, APIs, and other cloud-native services.
• Azure data and analytics solutions: C9 can implement Azure data services, including Azure Blob Storage, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Synapse Analytics, to build advanced data processing and analytics platforms.
• Azure IoT and edge computing: C9 can create end-to-end IoT solutions using Azure IoT Hub, Azure IoT Edge, and other related services to enable intelligent edge computing.
• Azure security and compliance: C9 can design and implement Azure-based security and compliance solutions, such as Azure Active Directory, Azure Key Vault, and Azure Security Center, to ensure the safety and compliance of cloud-hosted applications and data.

C9 employs several strategies to ensure the performance and reliability of the Azure-based solutions they develop:

Performance:

• Architectural design: C9's Azure experts design the solution architecture to leverage the most appropriate Azure services and configurations for optimal performance.
• Scalability and elasticity: C9 ensures that the Azure-based solutions are designed to scale up or down automatically based on demand, using features like autoscaling and load balancing.
• Monitoring and optimisation: C9 implements comprehensive monitoring and logging to identify and address any performance bottlenecks, and regularly optimises the solution for better performance.

Reliability:

• High availability: C9 architects the Azure-based solutions to leverage Azure's built-in high availability features, such as redundancy, failover, and disaster recovery.
• Backup and recovery: C9 sets up robust backup and recovery mechanisms, including Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery, to ensure data and application resilience.
• Incident response: C9 has established incident response procedures to quickly identify, diagnose, and resolve any issues that may arise, minimising downtime.
• Ongoing maintenance: C9 provides continuous maintenance and support services to keep the Azure-based solutions up-to-date, secure, and performing optimally.
