Neptune Energy consolidates its IT landscape and provider base in the Azure Cloud
How will you take advantage of the cloud?
The reservations that have long prevented companies from moving to the cloud are increasingly disappearing. Forward-thinking companies are using the cloud to reduce costs, increase efficiency and enable innovation.
The cloud is becoming an integral part of IT services for companies of all kinds. Why? Because using the cloud enables companies to become more service-oriented and achieve true digital transformation.

Choice
Most hosting services are available in the public cloud or in a hybrid scenario in the Syntax Private Cloud with integration into Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure.
State of the art solutions
Designed for a modern collaborative workplace based on Microsoft 365 with Teams, SharePoint and Exchange Online, or for a modern cloud IT infrastructure for running important business solutions such as SAP on Azure.
Create your optimal cloud strategy
Discover the optimal cloud strategy for your SAP and non-SAP applications in Microsoft Azure. Options include public cloud where all the systems in your SAP landscape are hosted on Azure or hybrid cloud where corporate, compliance, and service level requirements may require some critical SAP systems to be hosted on-premises. In these cases, non-critical parts, like Archive or Development systems can be moved to Microsoft Azure.
Advantages of SAP on Microsoft Azure with Syntax
Flexible
Adapt the infrastructure to your needs by quickly scaling it up or down or switching from 24×7 to 10×5 system availability wherever possible.
Personal
Personalized Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with German-speaking 24/7 HelpDesk.
Agile
Innovate faster by rapidly provisioning/deprovisioning systems. Integrate new Azure Platform services as soon as they are available.
Cost-effective
Consumption-based pricing for training, development, test, sandbox and reference systems. Eliminate the need for on-premise data center upgrades. Flexible on-demand licensing for all your Microsoft Cloud licensing needs. Monthly operating expenses (OPEX) for managed hosting services.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Managed IaaS
IaaS offers virtualized data processing resources via the cloud. With laaS, you save the costs associated with purchasing, housing or maintaining the computing, storage and network components required to run your business. This mitigates the problems associated with upgrades, configuration and support.
Other advantages of IaaS include greater flexibility. Since you pay for these services on a monthly basis, you can quickly scale your environment to meet the needs of your business. Many IaaS providers also guarantee uptime, so you don’t have to worry about system downtime.
By outsourcing your data center infrastructure to a specialized managed services and cloud provider like Syntax, you can better respond to your company’s growth objectives.
Syntax’s Application Infrastructure-as-a-Service provides a secure, resilient cloud designed to boost the performance of your individual application portfolio.
IaaS
IaaS offers virtualized data processing resources via the cloud. With this model, your cloud provider takes care of your networks, storage, servers and virtualization.
You can build your own IaaS platform internally. Alternatively, you can opt for a public cloud provider such as Microsoft Azure. These providers provide you with a pre-defined set of services that serve as a gateway to the cloud. IaaS providers offer service level agreements (SLAs) for your infrastructure, not your applications.
Managed IaaS
With an IaaS model, you have to manage a large part of your IT environment yourself. Many companies only realize that they need to take care of their backups, applications and data after signing an IaaS contract. Then, months later, they realize that their servers were never patched and they could lose their data.
Managed IaaS allows you to outsource your infrastructure and its management. This service includes everything you get with IaaS, along with a team that takes care of the following:
- Backup, restore and disaster recovery
- Management of the operating system
- Patching
- Security
- Monitoring
Your Managed IaaS provider monitors your infrastructure and systems around the clock. If something happens, they can fix problems quickly. Your Managed IaaS provider can also offer you a higher level of security and performance than with conventional IaaS services.
Advantages of IaaS
No investment costs and lower running costs
IaaS eliminates the need to set up and manage an on-site data center, making it an economical option.
Customized services
Available options for custom applications, systems, versions and infrastructures that allow customers to focus on the processes that are most important to their business and their customers.
Fast response time
IaaS allows you to quickly increase resources when demand increases and reduce them when activity decreases, saving you money.
Concentrate on your core business
IaaS gives your team the opportunity to focus on the core business of your company and not on the IT infrastructure.
Greater stability, reliability and supportability
IaaS eliminates the need to maintain and update software and hardware or fix problems with equipment.
Security
The Syntax Cloud® can secure your applications and data better than you can achieve internally.
New applications are deployed faster
You don’t have to set up the infrastructure before you can develop and deploy applications.
