ASTEROID - AzureStartToolEnablingRapidOnboardingInsteadofDevastation
As the cloud has become a critical component of modern business operations, there is a growing need for guidance in setting up an effective and efficient cloud architecture design. However, getting started with the cloud and navigating the complex and constantly evolving world of cloud architecture can be a daunting task for many organizations, especially those new to the field.
To help ease this process, Asteroid is a web-based tool that enables customers to easily configure an Enterprise-Scale architecture (Azure/Enterprise-Scale) for their cloud deployment.
This architecture provides prescriptive guidance and best practices for designing an Azure architecture, that aligns with organizational needs and is scalable for future growth.
This modular architecture is designed to support organizations of any size, allowing them to start as small as they need and scale as their business grows.
With this tool, we aim to simplify the adoption of the cloud for organizations of all sizes, empowering them to achieve their goals with confidence. Thus, customers can confidently navigate the cloud environment and design a robust and effective architecture that supports their business objectives.
