Azure Everywhere

Removing the Barriers to the Cloud!

Have you gone to the cloud only to get a “black eye” from what you didn’t know?  Or worse yet, have you avoided the cloud because you already know what you would be putting at risk? What about cost control?  Security? Where does Microsoft leave off and where do we take over operations?

    

 If you feel like your on-premise is fairly tightly controlled and predictable but the Cloud seems opposite or contrary to that, then PLEASE come join our FREE Full-Day workshop. 

We will explore key concepts, issues and considerations while providing guidance on how to effectively and securely scale in to Azure or start new, next-gen workloads natively!
