Greetings!
Microsoft Azure
The United States Sports Academy will be using a Single Sign-On (SSO) cloud platform as part of our Campus Café integration called Microsoft Azure. Below you will find some information about Azure.
What is Microsoft Azure?
Formerly known as Windows Azure, Microsoft Azure is a public cloud computing platform that provides a range of cloud services for computing, storing, and networking. Depending upon your requirements, you can manage and store data.
The Benefits of using Microsoft Azure
Microsoft Azure is used for its enhanced flexibility, integrated delivery pipeline, security, disaster recovery, and speed of service. The platform is cost-efficient and is majorly used by various IT companies for its improved infrastructure.
How does Azure work?
Azure is a huge collection of networking hardware and servers that run a complex set of applications widely distributed in an organization. These applications make the configuration and operation of virtualized software and hardware work in sync on the servers.
Why use Azure?
For a reliable, consistent, and easy operable platform, Azure is the most suitable choice. It provides a wide range of hybrid connections, including caches, virtual private networks, content delivery networks, and ExpressRoute connections, to improve performance and usability. And it will provide an extra level of security when logging into Canvas.
More details will be coming soon.
Sincerely,
The United States Sports Academy
