The value of moving to Azure

Posted on by Angell, Christopher Michael

Considering modernizing and moving your business to the cloud? You’re not alone. You’re also not the one thinking about security and compliance.

Microsoft Azure has advanced security features and more compliance certifications than any other public cloud provider. Full back up and recovery to the cloud and built-in security features across on-premises and cloud deployments. Single sign on (SSO) for each employee, extending local user identities and permissions to the cloud.

For the best in security and compliance, Microsoft Azure sits alone.

Australian National University: The DNA of data and AI

Posted on by Angell, Christopher Michael


Data is vital to scientific research. Without the ability to quickly process and analyze large amounts of data, breakthroughs and publications take longer. This increases administrative tasks and can even lead to projects going over budget. To avoid these pitfalls, modern researchers have begun turning to artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud-based technology, which enable the researchers to avoid the time and expense of setting up and configuring servers, leaving them to focus on their scientific goals.

In this video, you’ll see how researchers at Australian National University (ANU) conduct cutting-edge genome research by using Microsoft Azure to commission a data science virtual machine that allows them to instantly process large amounts of data. You’ll also learn how, thanks to the data management capabilities of Azure, ANU is now able to use unprecedented volumes of data and new analytical frameworks to decrease admin time and maximize the university’s research capabilities.

What’s The Future Of Your Technology Capabilities?

Posted on by Angell, Christopher Michael

Though the coronavirus situation forced a remote work model for many businesses, some have realized that it might be more ideal than returning to the traditional go-to-work model. Why? Cloud technology.

In his article, “What’s the Future of Your Technology Capabilities?” Gilles Muys writes that the cloud has proven it’s here to stay, due to withstanding various vulnerabilities. He adds that another reason the cloud is long-term is “its ability to stand alone from being infrastructure-dependent makes it cost-effective.” He points out that now is the time to transition to cost-saving technology because all signs point to increase cloud use and associated benefits.

Australian National University (ANU) addresses the computing demands of genome research

Posted on by Angell, Christopher Michael


As scientific research becomes more and more complex, scientists need new, scalable ways to store and analyze ever-larger troves of data. They also need unprecedented amounts of raw computing power to process the data they obtain and deliver timely results that enable projects to stay on track and within budget. To ensure that their research adheres to these restraints, modern-day scientists need to increase efficiency via automation and other approaches whenever they can, wherever they can. Artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technology give scientists the tools they need to advance research faster than ever before, get results quicker, and achieve scientific breakthroughs like never before.

In this video, you’ll learn how researchers at Australian National University (ANU) are using Microsoft Azure to dramatically shorten the amount of time they spend on data analysis, enabling faster publication of their cutting-edge genome research.
