Azure
Microsoft Azure designed, migrated and managed by Next2IT, with deep Microsoft 365 integration, hybrid flexibility and around-the-clock support.
Microsoft Azure, done properly
Azure lets businesses build, deploy and manage applications across Microsoft’s global data centres, from virtual machines and storage to AI services, databases and security tooling. It is especially powerful for organisations already running Windows Server, Active Directory or Microsoft 365, thanks to deep integration and unified management. Next2IT helps you migrate, modernise and scale your Azure environment with confidence.
What we do on Azure
Cloud migration. We move workloads from on-premise or other clouds to Azure, handling planning, assessment, execution and post-migration support. Applications and data transfer securely with minimal downtime, built around your compliance and performance requirements.
DevOps and automation. Using infrastructure as code with Terraform or ARM templates, plus CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, we make deployments consistent, repeatable and traceable.
Containers. We design containerised environments with Docker and orchestrate them on Azure Kubernetes Service and Container Instances, automating builds, scanning, rollouts, scaling and self-healing.
Storage and backup. With Blob Storage, Azure Files, Disks and Archive Storage, plus Azure Backup and Site Recovery, we build resilient, cross-region protection so your data stays encrypted and recoverable.
Networking. We build Virtual Networks, site-to-site VPNs, ExpressRoute and Virtual WAN to connect on-premise infrastructure, cloud workloads and remote users securely.
AI and analytics. Using Azure Machine Learning, Synapse, Power BI, Cognitive Services and Data Factory, we build pipelines and intelligent workflows that turn data into actionable insight.

Backed by Microsoft’s compliance offerings, your environment meets GDPR, ISO 27001 and sector-specific standards.
