As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV), your application is at the heart of your business and you\u2019ll understand the importance of leveraging cloud-native technologies for application growth in 2021.\u00a0Commvault has recently spoken about cloud-native applications and is predicting<\/a>\u00a0\u201cIT organisations to make the rearchitecting of their applications and workloads into cloud-native formats one of their top digital transformation priorities for 2021\u201d.<\/p>

The benefits of moving your application to Azure are endless. In fact,\u00a0it can completely transform the way your business operates. Reach new by accessing intelligent tools such as Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure DevOps and Azure App Service. The benefits are endless.<\/p>

Moving your application to Azure can\u00a0completely transform the way your business operates. You\u2019ll have the ability to reach new markets by accessing intelligent tools such as Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure DevOps and Azure App Service. The benefits are endless.<\/p>

During this blog post, we\u2019ll be exploring the three infrastructure options for your application in the cloud.<\/p>

 <\/p>\n

Your options at a glance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When migrating your application or software to Azure you need to decide on whether your application will be delivered as Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) or App Service. Here\u2019s an infographic we\u2019ve created that highlights the key differences between these approaches.<\/p>

Ready to dive into each of these options and what that approach will mean for your business?<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Infrastructure-as-a-Service is the first step in building new technology that\u2019s delivered over the cloud. This option is usually the quickest for you to get your application up and running in the cloud. IaaS enables you to build and manage data as you grow by only billing you for the storage and server space needed to build hardware or software. Allowing you to scale up and down with ease.<\/p>

IaaS provides your business with the greatest level of control and power over your software and hardware. However, you\u2019ll still be responsible for making sure everything is secure and up and running to prevent any outages that could impact your business operations.<\/p>

 <\/p>\n

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Platform-as-a-Service enables you to provide an online platform that is accessible to developers to start creating software that can be delivered over the internet. PaaS leverages cloud-native technologies but is still very cost-effective. Plus, you\u2019ll only have to manage your application and data, whilst your cloud provider looks after the rest for you.<\/p>

You\u2019ll be able to free up a lot of your IT team\u2019s time as you\u2019ll be able to create custom applications online without having to deal with any of the data serving, storage or management of the platform \u2013 allowing them to focus on building new features into your app. You\u2019ll also gain full control over any software or applications that are being built within the platform.<\/p>

You\u2019ll be able to create custom applications online without having to deal with any of the data serving, storage or management of the platform. The result? More time for your IT team to focus on building new features into your app. You\u2019ll also gain full control over any software or applications that are being built within the platform.<\/p>

One of the downfalls of PaaS is that you\u2019ll only be able to control what is built on the platform. Therefore, if there is ever an outage or any issues with the hardware or operating system that the platform is built on, this will affect the software that is being delivered.<\/p>

 <\/p>\n

Azure App service<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Azure App Service is\u00a0a fully managed platform for building, deploying and scaling your web applications.<\/a>\u00a0The platform has built-in infrastructure maintenance, security patching and scaling \u2013 allowing you to really focus on transforming your app whilst Microsoft does the heavy lifting. You\u2019ll be able to build, deploy and scale apps quicker than ever. Thanks to the comprehensive security and compliance features in Azure, you\u2019ll be able to do all of this within a trusted managed platform.<\/p>

Making your application fit for the Azure App Service is often the option that takes the most work, but the long-term cloud-native benefits are incomparable. With your cloud provider managing everything for you, you\u2019ll have the time to continuously optimise your app by leveraging some of the available tools, such as; Azure Monitor, Azure DevOps and Azure Active Directory.<\/p>

But that\u2019s not all. Microsoft has created a range of pricing and performance options to fit your every need, which offers savings up to 55% when compared to pay as you go.<\/p>
