Your benefits at a glance

Why get Azure from us?

For whom?

Our offering is aimed at teams that use Azure as a strategic platform:

  • Software vendors (ISVs): Develop, operate, and scale cloud-native products on Azure
  • Companies with their own software development: Platform, licensing and consulting from a single source
  • Development and operations teams: technical partners on an equal footing instead of anonymous licensing channels
  • CTOs and IT Leaders: Engineering expertise instead of just a monthly invoice

The common problem: Three vendors, one architecture

Many companies purchase Azure from one partner, have it developed by a second and commission a third party to operate it. This can work – but it requires coordination. Who is responsible if a problem affects both code and infrastructure? Who keeps track of the overall system?

The more handovers, the more knowledge is lost. And when things get tough, the search for responsibility begins.

Azure from the Cloud Native Specialist

Instead of a pure invoice, white duck gives you a partner who understands your architecture.

You get Azure directly from us, with a single point of contact for deployment, billing, and support. Questions about Azure services are answered by someone who uses them on a daily basis.

Flexible, transparent, without commitment

Azure runs with us consumption-based and billed monthly: no upfront commitments, no minimum volumes, can be cancelled at any time.

As your applications and platforms grow, your Azure usage scales with them. For predictable workloads, we combine this with savings plans and reservations without losing flexibility at the edge.

Azure costs under control right from the start

Azure costs arise quickly and are difficult to keep track of if no one is actively looking.

We know the typical cost traps from our everyday project work and set up monitoring, budgets and alerts from the very beginning. No surprises at the end of the month – and a remote station that understands your architecture before explaining the invoice.

Next Step: Solution Assessment

Are you new to Azure or would you like to have your existing environment assessed? Our Solution Assessment is the ideal way to get started: Together with our Cloud Solution Architects, you will develop a prioritized roadmap.

From there, you decide which building blocks you want to use: cloud deployment, cloud native development, operations as a service – or all from a single source.
