What is Azure Identity Management?
Azure Identity Management is a series of policies and technologies that control which resources users have access to. It is particularly important now we are in a time of more remote working and ‘bring your own device’ policies.
Azure Active Directory is the main Azure Identity Management solution. It is cloud based and manages which applications or areas of Microsoft 365, Office 365, Azure, and Dynamics CRM Online you have access to. Some of the following features you may recognise are controlled by Azure AD:
- ‘Single-sign on’ where you have one ID (your email) and password to log into several different apps and software’s.
- ‘Multi-factor authentication’ where once you have put in your password and email, you’re asked to confirm with a code or Authenticator app.
- ‘Conditional access’ where there are conditions to access a particular resource e.g. you must enter a company email to access a document shared from SharePoint.
As you can see, the main purpose of Azure Identity Management is to keep company data and users secure when working. It is a particularly great resource for any organisations that work from home or work with a lot of external consultants, as it can keep your business’s IP secure.
What is Azure API Management Service?
An Azure API Management service is a completely managed solution that allows users to publish, protect, convert, and observe APIs. It’s a simple solution that only requires a couple of clicks within the Azure portal to create an API façade. This acts as an entrance for third party and Azure based applications to access information hosted in Azure.
Azure API Management service manages the processes needed when facilitating API calls, including confirming users are who they say they are with authentication, giving users access to the resources they are allowed to access with authorisation, rate limits, API quota administration and API versioning.
When it comes to security, Azure API Management service has several features to help you do this. You can keep all your API’s behind one domain or IP and secure them with keys and filtering as well as implement specific quotas and rate limits and set detailed policies. Like anything hosted on Azure, you will benefit from Microsoft Azure’s many compliance and regulation qualifications it has in place. This means you can be sure your data and infrastructure is hosted on the most secure cloud hosting option out there.

How does it work?
TechQuarters Azure Cloud Architects will demo a test lab, then set up hosting trials and perform a proof of concept for you in your area of interest. If you are already clear on what service you need, as a Tier 1 provider of Microsoft’s Azure service, TechQuarters will be able to discuss your design with you, architect the solution, then get straight into the development phase.
Our Azure Project process will involve an initial scoping phase for any migration work. Our Azure consultants then create a detailed project terms of reference (PTOR), which essentially acts as a blueprint for any further work that we perform. The PTOR will detail the phases, responsibilities, tasks, timelines and estimated costs. We then gain your approval and proceed to the next steps in the project, working with you through to controlled closure of the piece of work.

Once the Azure project work has been completed, we may handover the service to your internal team for support or you may choose to bounce out or utilise our dedicated Specialist Services team for Azure Helpdesk on-going support.
Choose Azure Cloud Hosting for your business
What is Cloud Hosting? In simple terms, it stores applications and websites in data centres – which contain enterprise storage and computer systems. This means that anyone, from individual users to enterprise businesses, can access any resources from the cloud provided there is an internet connection. There are a lot of different services for this. Here at TechQuarters, we recommend Microsoft Azure. Azure Cloud Hosting is a scalable subscription service, meaning that you only pay for the storage and consumption that you use – instead of paying for more than what you need for redundancy. Your usage can easily be scaled up and you simply pay a little more. On the other hand, if your consumption decreases, your usage can be automatically scaled down so you aren’t spending where you don’t need to be.
Azure Cloud Hosting is renowned for its security, as it was the first service to adopt the new international standards for cloud privacy. Moreover, data stored in Azure is decentralised, meaning it is not stored in one location only – this makes disaster recovery much quicker and more reliable. Feel free to contact us over the phone or via email to discuss Azure Cloud Hosting for your business.
