Microsoft Azure – a public cloud with unlimited possibilities

The public cloud offers an abundance of advantages. So you avoid investing in the likes of expensive, in-house infrastructure. And you only pay for the resources you use. They are easy to adapt to your current requirements at any time and therefore offer maximum flexibility. Azure, Microsoft′s public cloud, offers limitless possibilities and even more services. Your ability to make targeted, sustainable use of them depends on setting the right course from the very outset. 
This will enable you to exploit the full power of the public cloud without steering the process into a dead end. Our certified Azure architects and experts will advise you on the cloud transformation of your infrastructure or applications – from analysis and implementation, to operation and the downstream continuous improvement process. The basis for this undertaking will be the cloud operating model we define together.

Cloud governance and cloud tools

In a public cloud, it′s relatively easy to provision new resources and services independently. This makes it all the more important to pay due attention to cloud governance from the very outset – to prevent data from suddenly being stored in countries with inadequate data protection legislation, for example. Through the monitoring process integrated in the cloud operating model and regular discussions with you, we will ensure that the cloud solution and its governance are continuously improved.


The selected cloud architecture takes account of the jointly defined governance guidelines. Our services such as

  • Subscription management
  • Identity and access management
  • Policy management
  • Asset and configuration management

lay the foundations for current and future requirements. At the same time, we prevent your journey to the cloud from turning into a dead end.

The public cloud is continuously developing and constantly offering new tools and services. With Netrics′ integrated DevOps approach, we proactively highlight courses of action to continuously improve your cloud solution.

Tools such as

  • Azure Protection Services
  • Azure Security Services
  • Azure Automation Services
  • Azure Monitoring Services

are just a small selection of the available choices when it comes to securely and sustainably managing your public cloud. We will jointly define the ideal deployment and orchestration of the tools and services in a cloud operating model.

Netrics Operating Services for Azure – NOSA

NOSA – Netrics′ completely carefree package of managed services for the public cloud – features a comprehensive range of services such as

  • Compliance management
  • Governance management
  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Security management
  • Backup and recovery
  • Cost optimization

and more besides. Where necessary, the NOSA services can be extended to include your private cloud and integrated into your existing process landscape.

Costs under control

Changes in your business have a lasting effect on your cloud requirements. The public cloud is dynamic and its pricing model is usage-based. The major advantage of this is that the resources you need grow with your business and the security level can be maintained, even in the event of major growth. At the same time, there′s a latent risk of soaring costs. Evaluating and interpreting key metrics and detecting trends helps you avoid nasty surprises. NOSA incorporates cost control and suggests ways to optimize your cost structure.
