What the buyer published
The Azure Monetary commitment is a pre-payment made to Microsoft for their Azure cloud services. The forecast for Azure spend over the next 3 years has risen significantly compared to previous years due to the migration of various services to the cloud in support of Stonewater's IT strategy. The following systems/services form the basis of the increased costs:
- ASR - Disaster Recovery
- Veeam Offsite Backup
- Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
- Azure Integration Services (AIS)
Other services such as Sentinel/Defender, which are already covered through the pre-payment model, will continue to be supported and will contribute to the overall costs.
