Microsoft Azure

Scale up or down with Microsoft Azure

In any organisation, flexibility is essential. Microsoft Azure allows you to scale up or scale down your cloud computing requirements in line with your requirements.

Azure collects all sorts of applications under one roof, letting you upgrade or streamline your resources on demand. Azure loads them as a ‘cluster’, allocated to a prefigured set of processes: this means they aren’t all housed on one server, and thus will never extend beyond capacity.

Additionally, Azure comes with a reporting function, detailing how well each application is performing in real-time. If an influx of traffic hits your website, or a digital project pushes beyond your initial resource plan, you’ll know how your IT system is handling the pressure.

Microsoft Azure, specifically, can scale up or down with the shape of whatever it is you do.

Why Choose Azure?

Auto scaling – When you have to boost your server capabilities, Azure can make the decision for you, based on your data load or processing schedule. It has an ‘auto scale’ feature that will monitor what’s working at its peak – if the software detects that your load limit is almost full, it will upgrade your server count, ensuring that nothing experiences a glitch or an unexpected crash. This is great news for your organisation, as you won’t have to manually bring a higher number of servers on-board if there is high demand on your network.

Saving on spend – Many organisations aren’t fully operative 24/7, 365 days of the year. Schools, for instance, may want to hibernate their IT system between term time. This makes complete sense: keeping IT provisions ticking over when they aren’t called for is a big drain on your finances. Luckily, Azure allows you to wind down in the ‘o‑’ period, gearing back up again when you’re ready for action. This will result in a significant cost saving.

What our clients say

As with moving to any new supplier there is always a nervous feeling. Business continuity is paramount. All of our inventory is RFID tagged, so if our IT systems stop, so does our production. Our customers are not interested in IT problems, they need large volumes of linen for their daily operations. We needed IT support that understood our business. We made the right choice moving to Apex. Apex are proactive, efficient and show great understanding.

After consulting other competitors on the market we were blown away by Apex Computing. They understood our needs, offered a personal service and to date have performed exceptionally. I really can't recommend them enough.

As soon as we joined Apex, we immediately noticed a sharp increase in the number of IT Support calls we were making; not because of any increase in the number of IT issues we were experiencing, but simply due to the fact that we knew any issues we might have would be fixed promptly and efficiently, and therefore had no inhibitions in calling on Apex for help.

We have been using Apex Computing Services for over 5 years for our IT Support. Over the years of working with Director Chris Gorman and the support engineer team they have really gone above and beyond our expectations. I trust Chris and the team to handle any of our IT support issues and find them extremely helpful and they are a joy to work with.
- James Beazley, 6group.com -
We have continued to get excellent service and support from Apex Computing Services. With Manchester Carers being a local independent charity, we rely on an honest, trustworthy and innovative IT support company. We are really happy with the service we have received over the years and we value their IT knowledge and expertise. They take corporate social responsibility really seriously.
- Shirley Devine, Manchester Carers -
As a small business we have tried to concentrate on giving service to our customers rather than spending too much time getting a proper computer system infrastructure to cope with increasing work. As a result we suffered and Apex Computing came to our rescue going beyond expectations by trying to sort our existing problem before offering a full solution. I thoroughly recommend them.
