Why Companies are Turning to Azure

By Greg LaBrie | Feb 08, 2018

When we talk about cloud computing we are usually referring to the public cloud. The concept of the public cloud is revolutionary. The idea of ridding ourselves of our hardware centric data centers to a more flexible, scalable, and resilient world of the cloud is indeed liberating.

It kind of all depends on your point of view and what you value.
