STORAGE AND PROCESSING SCALABILITY
Ecosystem data can run into petabytes, and a significant drawback for on-premise data warehouses is limited computing capabilities, which are essential for large-scale data. Every time an on-premise server reaches maximum capacity, companies must upgrade or add capacity, resulting in processing downtime.
Azure offer virtually infinite scalability via pooled computing resources. You can quickly provision more CPU, RAM, or storage capacity when needed, and this allows for continuous analysis of very large volumes of data.
COST EFFECTIVE
Azure use resource-based billing models to minimize operating costs. This means that when you move to the cloud, you will only pay for the computing resources you use, saving money in the long-term. Depending on the platform you choose, you also have access to a range of storage options, including SSD, HDD, and tape-based storage drives, allowing you to minimize costs when storing infrequently accessed datasets.
Along with resource-based billing, Azure also take away the burden of infrastructure maintenance, freeing up IT staff hours to work on development rather than repetitive infrastructure management tasks. This translates to indirect cost-savings, as human resources are utilized more efficiently when compared to an on-premise data warehousing approach.
CLOUD DISASTER RECOVERY
On-premise data backups can be time-consuming and challenging to automate, especially with traditional data warehousing solutions. Monumental amounts of hard drive space are needed to facilitate backups in the first place, leading to increased hardware costs.
Azure platform have built-in disaster recovery functionality, offering backup replication and scheduled backups that help you achieve recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs). For older backups, you can transfer them to archive storage solutions in the cloud, further reducing your disaster recovery operation costs. You can even leverage the power of third-party multi-cloud replication-as-a-service tools to increase network resiliency further.
