Eliminate wastage, right-size your environment and take advantage of the comprehensive cost management features within Microsoft Azure.
Reduce your initial investment, and save up to 72% on compute costs compared to pay-as-you-go, by committing to a fixed term with Reserved Instances, combined with an Azure Savings Plan for the less-predictable workloads. Our regular optimisation reviews and fine-tuning of reservations, intermittent workloads and VM rightsizing will ensure that your tenancy remains aligned with maximised benefits.
Using Microsoft’s automation plane, Core has developed automated cost management capabilities that are designed to proactively identify upward trends or anomalies across your individual subscriptions and service families, before the costs have been realised. Our cloud experts will respond with in-depth analysis and work with you to address issues, providing informed recommendations to minimise unnecessary expenditure.
Operate seamlessly across your on-premise datacentre and the cloud with Microsoft Azure servers. With end-to-end hybrid infrastructure and consistent security, identity and management features, Azure servers provide a secure pathway to the cloud from a legacy hardware environment.
Azure servers provide an opportunity for your business to transition to the cloud, whilst Core’s team of Microsoft specialists have the capability to turn that opportunity into success. Ensure optimal availability and smooth running of your Windows and Linux server estate with a fully-managed IaaS support model including patch management, backup and disaster recovery, antivirus and around the clock monitoring to detect and respond to issues as they develop.
Embrace PaaS offerings such as serverless databases and websites, improve availability and take advantage of Microsoft’s guaranteed service level agreement of 99.99% or more as you reduce dependencies on the operating system and eradicate the need for costly Windows licensing.
Schedule regular application-consistent backups with Azure VM Backup and benefit from readily accessible recovery points providing individual file or full system restores with a retention policy customised to your workload and compliance requirements.
Protect your workloads from regional disaster with Azure Site Recovery, monitored and fine-tuned by our Microsoft Azure experts to minimise your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for critical systems. Azure’s reporting and alerting functions provided by Azure Backup Centre and Azure Monitor allow Core’s engineering team to quickly address any failures and maintain 100% compliance for backup and disaster recovery, keeping you best prepared for any eventuality.
Help secure your hosted Windows Server workloads with multi-layered, built-in security.
Maintain your security posture with native controls, leveraging the Defender for Cloud protection suite to routinely evaluate your IT against industry and regulatory standards as well as Microsoft’s own best-practice framework, enforcing these standards via Azure Policy. In addition, detect and respond to evolving threats at scale with Microsoft cloud intelligent solutions.
Protect your users and your data at the very edge with Azure’s identity and access management solutions. Defend against malicious login attempts and safeguard credentials with risk-based access controls, identity protection tools and strong authentication options, all without disrupting your users’ productivity.
With Azure IDAM features, it no longer matters if your users are based on-site or work from home. Provide them with seamless access to all their apps and data so that they can stay productive from anywhere. Automate workflows for user lifecycle and provisioning, saving time and resources with self-service management.
Azure identity and access management features are key elements of transitioning to the cloud, simplifying the move from physical to virtual servers, and then enabling the move to a modern workplace and hybrid working.

What our customers say about us
Core have been outstanding to work with. They really listened to what we were trying to do, talked through all of their ideas, and fully explained the pros and cons involved while taking into account our long-term business goals.
Over the years, Core and the University of Law have built a strong relationship based on trust, expertise and knowledge. Core has always listened to and addressed our specific needs, before tailoring a specific and precise solution, whether that be delivering a successful SharePoint Online project, or when approached for some guidance or advice around Dynamics 365 licensing. We very much look forward to collaborating on future projects with Core.
It was apparent from day one that Core had a depth of knowledge in Microsoft 365, which we simply hadn’t found anywhere else.
With pre-purposed training modules and the ability to tailor training to our specific needs, Core ticks all the boxes. What may have taken weeks to prepare by way of training materials, instead took only days.
Core have helped us with various projects, from initiation to delivery for web development to app deployments, and they have always shown a high level of expertise and creativity. Core is not just a solution provider, they are also a trusted advisor who take time to understand our needs and goals to ensure our investment delivers value to the business. In an age where supplier engagement can be painful, it has been a pleasure working with Core since the outset!
