Transform the Datacentre: Discover how cloud tools are shaping the future of health IT

  • Article

Public sector organisations are under pressure to cut costs. At the same time, they’re tasked with managing their ageing legacy datacentre systems. The two problems might seem poles apart, but they’re really one and the same – as reducing IT complexity is one of the keys to building a more efficient organisation.

Microsoft’s Cloud OS vision and solutions can help you reduce operational costs and provide you with the flexibility and scale to deliver services faster and with greater agility. Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2 and Windows Azure are key solutions to help you provide and manage hybrid cloud services with greater agility and cost-efficiency to address you top IT challenges. They’re also a much-needed replacement for Windows Server 2003, which will reach end-of-support in July 2015.

Now is a great time to learn about Microsoft’s Cloud OS Vision and Solutions and how your organisation can benefit from the power of the private, public and hybrid cloud on your terms. But how should you get started?
