Azure is Microsoft’s cloud platform offering over 200 products and services for building, running and managing applications across data centres, on-premises and at the edge. It helps you scale, run securely and leverage advanced cloud tools.
Unlock scalable, secure and flexible compute power with Azure. From VMs to containers, FormusPro helps UK organisations deploy cloud infrastructure that adapts to your business needs.
Azure Compute powers the infrastructure behind modern applications, from simple virtual machines to complex microservices and containerised workloads. At FormusPro, we help you harness that power with intelligent provisioning, cost optimisation and seamless scaling.
Whether you’re migrating from on-prem or building cloud-native, Azure Compute is your foundation for reliable performance and flexibility.
Your compute environment shouldn’t dictate your strategy, it should support it.
Azure Compute offers a flexible set of virtualised infrastructure tools that scale with your business, whether you’re spinning up dev/test environments or running production-critical workloads across multiple regions.
FormusPro helps you align these tools with your goals, ensuring high availability, cost-efficiency
and performance right from day one.
Azure Compute goes far beyond traditional VM hosting.
With services like Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure App Services, you get the freedom to choose the right compute model for every application.
We work closely with your in-house team to design cloud architecture that meets compliance, uptime and workload efficiency standards… without overengineering.
Getting started with Azure Compute is easy.
Getting it right takes expertise.
FormusPro ensures you’re leveraging tools like Azure Reserved Instances, autoscaling groups and hybrid benefit pricing to reduce costs without sacrificing agility.
Whether you’re running steady-state enterprise systems or spiky ecommerce apps, we’ll optimise your deployment for scale and resilience.
Security and governance are built into every compute design we deliver.
We configure role-based access control, integrate Microsoft Defender for Cloud and support your regulatory needs with built-in audit and monitoring capabilities.
With FormusPro, you’re not just deploying VMs… you’re building a secure, scalable infrastructure foundation.
Azure Compute provides a foundation for running applications and services in the cloud.
We make that foundation robust, scalable and tailored to your unique business requirements. Here’s how we bring Azure Compute to life:
Deploy Windows or Linux VMs in minutes, with full control over configuration, networking, and storage. Ideal for lift-and-shift workloads or hybrid environments requiring customisation.
Run web and API applications without managing the underlying infrastructure. Auto-scale, integrate with DevOps pipelines and deploy updates with minimal friction.
For containerised applications, AKS offers enterprise-grade orchestration with built-in scaling, CI/CD support and native integration with Azure Monitor and Defender.
Serverless compute for event-driven tasks. Execute lightweight code in response to triggers, ideal for automation, integrations and microservices with unpredictable loads.
Automatically scale VM instances up or down based on demand. Optimise availability and performance for large-scale, compute-intensive applications… without manual overhead.
Azure what is it?
Azure is Microsoft’s cloud platform offering over 200 products and services for building, running and managing applications across data centres, on-premises and at the edge. It helps you scale, run securely and leverage advanced cloud tools.
How can Azure support IoT (Internet of Things) projects in our organisation?
Azure provides IoT Hub, edge computing, device management, streaming aalytics etc., enabling you to connect devices, capture data and act on it
(e.g. predictive maintenance, remote monitoring).
What are the business outcomes we might expect using Azure?
Outcomes include improved performance, reduced downtime, greater agility, ability to experiment and innovate faster, more robust disaster recovery and global reach.
Can Azure help organisations migrate from on-premise infrastructure?
Yes. Azure provides tools, migration paths, hybrid tools and best practices for moving servers, databases or applications to the cloud, with minimal downtime and disruption.
What AI and advanced capabilities does Azure provide?
Azure includes AI & ML services, cognitive services (language, vision, speech), anomaly detection, bot services, and supports Copilot / generative AI scenarios, plus frameworks for big data and analytics.
What happens if we need to scale or change resources in Azure?
Azure lets you scale up or down compute, storage, network resources dynamically. It supports auto-scaling, event-driven architectures and gives you monitoring dashboards to adjust resources depending on demand.
How quickly can we get started with Azure?
You can start small — migrate one workload or host a small app — and scale up. Many organisations see value early (improved performance, reliability, reduced infrastructure burden) just by shifting parts of their system to Azure.
What kind of applications can we build on Azure?
You can build anything from web apps, APIs and serverless functions, to data pipelines, Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, machine learning models and analytics platforms.
Can Azure integrate with Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and other tools we use already?
Yes. Azure works closely with D365, Power Platform, other Microsoft services and third-party apps so you can run hybrid or multi-cloud setups and integrate existing systems.
What security and compliance features come with Azure?
Azure provides built-in multilayer security controls, threat intelligence, audit logging, infrastructure hardening, global datacentres and compliance certifications. You get protection from ground up.
How does Azure help with cost-effectiveness?
With Azure you only pay for what you use, have flexible pricing options, and tools to monitor and manage usage. Whether you’re migrating workloads or refining deployments, it helps reduce waste and optimise spend.
What is Microsoft Azure?
Azure is Microsoft’s cloud platform offering over 200 products and services for building, running and managing applications across data centres, on-premises and at the edge. It helps you scale, run securely and leverage advanced cloud tools.
The Little Princess Trust (LPT) identified the need for digital transformation, which would take the form of a system encompassing almost all areas of the organisation. The system needed to be intuitive, integrate, consolidate and create a sustainable and extensible solution for use well into the future.
