[September 2015] All fast-paced, successful organizations have at least one thing in common —the need for technology that can keep up with the growing demands of their business. Cloud computing has played a significant role in helping to make this become a reality.
With help from products such as Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS) and Microsoft Azure D-Series Virtual Machines, businesses are now able to not only use the power of the cloud to develop and test their business critical ERP solutions, they also have the ability to directly deploy production instances for Dynamics AX on Azure using LCS. This practice significantly reduces deployment time while offering predictable implementation capabilities. To date, Microsoft has seen more than 15,000 Dynamics AX cloud virtual machine deployments in Azure, and that number is growing daily.
Earlier this month, Microsoft announced the global availability of its GS-series, a modification of the G-series, which will combine the power of the G-series with the performance of Premium Storage to create even more powerful virtual machines for storage and compute intensive applications. These developments will allow greater flexibility for businesses to deploy Dynamics AX on Microsoft Azure and enhance capabilities needed for them to successfully run business critical applications.
Microsoft is also offering tools for businesses to further efficiently manage their environments in Azure via simple capabilities in LCS, with PowerShell scripts that better leverage Azure automation. The technology giant expects these tools to reduce development and testing costs by nearly 70 percent, and also allow for better access to dev/test environments. Last but not least, Microsoft announced plans to reduce the costs on D-series virtual machines beginning in October.
