The Solution
Fully embracing the Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform
To address this challenge, Vibe SMG partnered with 360 Visibility, leveraging their expertise as Microsoft Azure Cloud Implementation consultants. 360 Visibility proposed a phased cloud migration to Microsoft Azure, focusing on offloading various modules to the cloud in a strategic manner. The migration plan included deploying Azure Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Database, Azure Web Services, Azure Redis Cache, Azure Network Security Groups, Azure VPN Gateway, and Azure Backup and Disaster Recovery.
The transition to the Microsoft Azure Cloud provided Vibe SMG with the flexibility and scalability they needed. The Azure Cloud Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) allowed them to provision services instantly, optimize performance, and significantly reduce operating costs. The migration also eliminated the administrative overhead associated with maintaining on-premises hardware, enabling Vibe SMG to focus on delivering high-quality services to their clients.
