Why Engage NAK for an Azure
Well-Architected Framework Review?
Whether you’ve recently moved infrastructure, applications or services into Azure – or have used it for longer – aligning against the Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework unlocks numerous benefits.
Reduced Costs
Reduced Risk
Increased Productivity
Your business may be facing some
common pain points:
Security Concerns:
Given the breadth and depth of capabilities available in Azure, it’s easy to accidentally create a security hole, such as directly exposing a virtual machine to the public Internet.
Inadequate security exposes you to the risk of data breaches and reputational damage.
Unpredictable Costs
Using Azure shifts the traditional emphasis of capital investment into monthly operational expenditure.
Rapidly escalating or fluctuating Azure costs undermine confidence in your Azure strategy and prompt awkward questions from your stakeholders.
User Frustration
Without a cohesive and standards-led strategy for delivering Azure-hosted technology services, you risk creating single points of failure and performance challenges.
Users will quickly become frustrated with services that suffer from poor performance or are regularly unavailable.
