When I think about all that\u2019s involved in the Azure data centers, you have a lot of reliability and redundancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here at the airport, there\u2019s one train shuttle. When it\u2019s down, you\u2019re out of luck. Similarly, if you live in one data center, if they have an issue and it\u2019s down, your customers are unable to use what it provides.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With an Azure platform, there are capabilities built in that keep your systems up and running and your data center dependable; all you need to do is take advantage of it. It\u2019s not about Microsoft building out a solution for you, more importantly, it\u2019s about you taking advantage of the solution that\u2019s been built for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So, it takes some thought and planning. This could mean doing global replication or maybe a scale set in VMs or any number of options that you can take advantage of in the data centers that Microsoft has created. This increases the reliability of your overall platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re currently dependent on a single data center, whether you own it or it\u2019s hosted elsewhere, and you\u2019re concerned about data recovery, you could use Azure to increase the reliability of that data center by allowing your data center to take advantage of the cloud.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think about it, are you in a place where you\u2019re service is down, and you must explain to customers that you don\u2019t have service? What does it look like for you to be reliable?<\/p>\n<p>Need further help?
