What are Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines?

Sometimes referred to as Windows VM or Azure VM, Virtual Machines is a scalable cloud computing program created by Microsoft. A virtual machine is simply a digital, non-physical version of a computer, which can run and execute virtually the same tasks.

With Azure Virtual Machines, you can use the Windows or Linux operating systems to run and deploy your own virtual machines (virtual computer systems), cutting out many infrastructure costs and making your workforce more flexible.

What are the benefits of virtual machines?

Virtual machines, like those run through Microsoft Azure and with tools like Windows Virtual Desktop, can allow users to host applications and run systems on the cloud. This means that business processes are made more efficient, without having to worry about the hassle or expense of on-premises equipment or infrastructure. Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines is completely scalable, so you can choose how many virtual environments you need, switch your allowance and make sure your business is using the right service – for example, by switching to a hybrid cloud and infrastructure system if required.
