– Tailored and scalable IT environments in the cloud.
The fuel gauge has been flashing for the last few kilometres but John Smith hasn’t noticed. He has other problems that are much more important than that right now.
The head of IT at a successful SME, John is on his way back from the opening of a new location in Southern Germany. This second office is an important milestone in his company’s expansion strategy, but it has also swallowed a lot of resources. The volume of data that the internal infrastructure now has to tackle has rapidly increased. Since then, everything has been slower, performance is suffering, the central database is experiencing more frequent outages and backup management is no longer sufficient.
And there is no light at the end of the tunnel. John already knows that he’s going to have to make other services available in the future which are going to affect performance. John finally notices the flashing warning light and starts the search for fuel.

– John Smith –
Mr Weber is a man of his word and calls back the next day. He’s looked over John’s idea of switching to Azure and moving the SQL server and a Windows server to the cloud. Azure Software as a Service includes a range of software services including the necessary licences, and the resources needed to implement the services will be provided by Microsoft. Using the pay-per-use model, John’s company saves the initial costs and can scale up as much as the expansion strategy demands later on and John gets the performance he desperately needs from day one.

Extended SQL Support with Azure – More time for the migration.
John and Mr Weber discuss the details. As SQL Server 2008 is being moved to Azure, support is extended by 3 years—time John can use to prepare for migrating the latest version of the SQL server. His two colleagues are happy with solution.
With Backup as a Service, all data are stored in the cloud.
There’s also a simple backup solution. Since migrating to Office 365, special data are already continually being saved with the Bechtle Cloud Backup solution. John would now like a homogeneous solution. He talks to Mr Weber about the possibility of consolidating all backup systems And, together, they decide to move backups and servers entirely into the cloud meaning that all data are in the Bechtle Cloud. John’s company doesn’t need to buy any hardware and the cumbersome tape handling is finally a thing of the past. There’s also the possibility to start disaster recovery from the cloud in the event of data being lost.
