Technologies
Microsoft and cloud technologies from Alendris practice — from Azure and Microsoft 365 to Defender XDR, Sentinel and Bicep.
Microsoft Azure
Microsoft's public cloud platform — compute, storage, networking, identity, AI and databases in 60+ regions worldwide.
Azure Virtual Desktop
Microsoft's cloud desktop service — Windows 11 multi-session pools with FSLogix profile management, FSL roaming and native Microsoft 365 integration.
Microsoft 365
Cloud-based productivity suite with Exchange Online, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, Loop and Microsoft 365 Copilot — the modern workplace standard platform for DACH.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
AI assistant integrated directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint — context-grounded on Microsoft Graph without data leaving the tenant.
Azure OpenAI Service
OpenAI models (GPT-4o, GPT-4 Turbo, o1, o3) inside your own Azure tenant — GDPR-compliant, regional hosting options, without data ever reaching OpenAI.
Azure AI Foundry
Microsoft's unified platform for enterprise AI development — Model Catalog, Prompt Flow, Evaluation, Agent Service and production deployment in a GDPR-compliant Azure environment.
Microsoft Defender XDR
Microsoft's XDR suite — Defender for Endpoint, Identity, Cloud Apps, Office 365 and Cloud in a correlated incident view.
Microsoft Sentinel
Microsoft's cloud-native SIEM/SOAR — pay-per-ingest, AI-based anomaly detection, 350+ pre-built data connectors.
Microsoft Purview
Unified data governance and compliance platform — Information Protection, DLP, Insider Risk, eDiscovery and Records Management.
Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft's cloud identity provider with single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, conditional access, identity governance and privileged identity management.
Microsoft Intune
Cloud-native Mobile Device Management and Mobile Application Management for Windows, macOS, iOS and Android — strategic successor to SCCM.
Azure Bicep
Microsoft's declarative Infrastructure-as-Code language for Azure — compiles to ARM JSON but significantly more readable than ARM templates.
Terraform
HashiCorp's cloud-agnostic Infrastructure-as-Code platform — the multi-cloud standard with 3000+ providers.
Azure Monitor & Log Analytics
Microsoft's unified observability stack — metrics, logs (KQL-based), traces, alerts and dashboards in one platform.
Azure Local
Microsoft's on-premises platform for Azure services in your own datacentre — 1 to 16 nodes, centrally managed through Azure Arc.
Storage Spaces Direct (S2D)
Microsoft's software-defined storage: 2 to 16 servers pool their local NVMe and SSD drives into one highly available storage pool.
Veeam Backup & Replication
Backup and replication software for virtual, physical and cloud workloads — with immutable storage as protection against ransomware.
Windows Server
Microsoft's server operating system: Windows Server 2025 combines Hyper-V, Storage Spaces Direct, Active Directory and Azure Arc connectivity.
Hyper-V
Microsoft's type-1 hypervisor, included in Windows Server — the basis of hyperconverged clusters and of virtualisation on Azure Local.
Azure Arc
Extends Azure management to servers outside Azure: inventory, policy, updates and monitoring for on-premises and multicloud estates.
Azure Site Recovery
Azure's disaster recovery service: continuously replicates servers to a second region or into Azure and fails over when needed.
Active Directory (AD DS)
Microsoft's directory service for Windows networks: central sign-in, group policy and permissions management in your own datacentre.
