Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s cloud platform, offering more than 200 services for computing, storage, networking, data, security, and artificial intelligence. Instead of owning and operating your own servers, you rent capacity that scales up as demand increases—and back down as it decreases.

What do Norwegian businesses use Azure for?

• Move operations out of your own server room: hardware that ties up capital and requires maintenance is replaced with capacity you pay for based on usage.
• Consolidate and analyze data: build a data foundation that Power BI and AI solutions can use.
• Build custom AI solutions: Microsoft Foundry provides access to leading language models and tools for deploying agents to production.
• Connect business systems: the integration services connect Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, and other systems.

Data in Norway

Microsoft has two Norwegian Azure regions, Norway East and Norway West. For organizations that require data to be stored within the country's borders, the services can be deployed in these regions.
