Our team answer a lot of questions about Microsoft Azure, so we thought it would be a good idea to turn our most popular Azure FAQs into a mini-video series.
Spanning 4-minutes each, in these videos our Azure Solution Specialist – Sam Barnes – addresses topics like why Azure as a cloud platform, and demos Azure portal features like the command line interface (CLI).
Get a better understanding of some of the core reasons why businesses choose Microsoft Azure as their cloud platform and grasp complex concepts in a concise format.

You can buy Microsoft Azure through the Cloud Solution Provider program.

Our Microsoft Partner Programs offer a much easier way to buy Microsoft licences and subscriptions. When you buy Azure from us, you also get value-added benefits like discounted training and workshops, technical and commercial support.
Whether you’re already in the cloud, or your next step is to make the move, we have a supporting service. As a trusted Microsoft Azure partner, we can help determine the best method for modernising your cloud workloads. All the services we offer take into consideration Microsoft’s five pillars of architecture excellence which form the Azure Well-Architected Framework and are the guiding tenets for improving the posture of a workload.
Azure Cost Analysis
Consolidate your Microsoft Azure licences and make immediate cost savings. Decades of licensing experience, and analytics tools within Azure, enable our team to assess your existing Azure subscription model and recommend changes that will save you money without compromising on levels of service.
Azure Design Service
Our Azure Design Service is perfect if you’re looking at a potentially complex Azure adoption. At the end, you'll have a detailed architectural diagram that explains how to configure your solutions and/or infrastructure in Azure. You can use this as a detailed reference when building the solution, whether you choose to do that yourselves or commission Grey Matter to do it for you.
Azure Health Check
Our Azure certified architects will work closely with you to gain an in-depth understanding of your current Microsoft Azure configuration. They'll identify the resources you’re using and make recommendations based upon Microsoft best practice. They’ll also identify any opportunities for you to benefit from the efficiencies, scaling and resiliency that the flexibility Microsoft Azure provides.
Azure Monitoring Service
Our team can help you transform your business with Microsoft Azure and ensure ongoing optimisation with our scalable Azure Monitoring Service. They’ll take care of monitoring, security, billing and reporting so you can focus on growing your business rather than worrying about the technology that supports it.
