Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that offers a range of services and solutions for businesses of any size and industry. Whether you want to build, deploy, or manage applications, store and analyze data, or leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning, Microsoft Azure has the tools and frameworks you need. But how can you buy Microsoft Azure in Luxembourg? And what are the benefits of choosing a Microsoft Partner like SCHNEIDER IT MANAGEMENT to help you with your Azure needs? In this article, we will answer these questions and more.
How to Buy Microsoft Azure in Luxembourg
There are different ways to buy Microsoft Azure in Luxembourg, depending on your business needs and preferences. You can choose from the following options:
- Enterprise Agreement: This is a long-term option, as you commit to a certain amount of Azure consumption for one or three years. You can get discounts and benefits based on your volume and term. This runs via a Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC), where you commit upfront to amounts of Azure consumption. You buy Azure via an Enterprise Agreement through Microsoft, and can get consultancy from a Microsoft Partner to save on costs. You must purchase Unified Support. After your EA expires, you pay a 3% extra fee, unless handled in time by a Microsoft Partner (LSP only), and your Azure switches to pay-as-you-go (PAYG). To learn more about the different Enterprise Agreement types, visit https://www.schneider.im/faq/microsoft-enterprise-agreement/. To get expert services on your Enterprise Agreement (EA) or Enterprise Subscription Agreement (EAS) for your Microsoft Azure consumption, contact SCHNEIDER IT MANAGEMENT.
- Cloud Solution Provider: Paying on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis, this is a partner-led option, as you buy Azure services from a certified Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partner who also provides you with additional services and support. You get flexible billing, customized solutions, premium support, end-to-end management and best prices from your CSP partner. The CSP partner of your choice in Luxembourg is SCHNEIDER IT MANAGEMENT.
- Credit Card: Also paying as you go (PAYG), this option is similar to the CSP option: very flexible, as you only pay for the resources you use and can cancel at any time. However, you do not benefit from included support, licensing consultancy, dedicated experts, and you have worse pricing. In this case, you buy directly from Microsoft online, and communicate with a chat bot, if you have questions.
