Optimizing usage of MS Azure services
Budget: €30 – €250 EUR
I have one Azure VM which we use to provide a web-based solution for various customers. Each customer is served by an ISS application and one MSSQL database. So the VM is running one instance of MSSQL Server (which has around 30 databases, as we server roughly 30 customers). The deployment process and also the database backup process is done by using some in-house scripts. For example every night we create a backup from each database and these backups are transferred to a cloud-based storage.
This means that we have some basic solution to backup our data and but still in case of a serious issue, it would take time to recover everything.
We have some VM backup configured in Azure but I'm not sure this is enough in case of a serious issue.
1. One option is that we stay with the current, VM based architecture, but we improve our VM and database backup solutions to use the possibilities offered by MS. I need a solution which allows me to restore the system and the database to a much closer point in time, in a much faster way.
2. As a second option, we can get rid of the VM and start using services offered in Azure.
I'm looking for a freelancer who understands the possibilities offered by MS Azure in depth and can tell me what is the benefit of this or that solution and what are the expected costs related.
