SharePoint on Azure
If you aren’t ready for SharePoint Online just yet, that’s not a problem because Azure
provides the capability for you to host your SharePoint farms within their infrastructure.
You can scale as required, saving money on infrastructure costs and, whether you
require SharePoint for developing, testing, staging, producing, or even for disaster
recovery, Azure offers everything you need.
Why Azure for SharePoint?
- Rapid SharePoint Deployment and Scaling
Set up SharePoint server infrastructure very quickly and set up your development
and/or test farms. Scale your production deployments by adding more resources
instantly. Use ready-to-deploy templates and images based on configurations already
well tested to simplify your configuration and deployment and reduce the time takes to
deploy complex farms down to just minutes.
- Cost-Effective SharePoint Site Hosting
With pay-per-minute billing and pay-as-you-go plans, you can save a lot of money.
Azure offers benefits for subscribers to Visual Studio for development and testing to
reduce the costs of software licensing. Extra servers can be set up instantly to help with
scaling and load testing over the short-term and then removed when no longer needed.
By paying only for what you use and using only what you need, your costs come down.
