Owners of previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, such as NAV 2013, may be considering the benefits of the Dynamics NAV Azure cloud-hosting platform, and whether the whole process is complicated and problematic.
Dynamics NAV users receive on-demand access through Azure
Today, cloud computing offers many advantages with its many software as a service (SaaS) options. Dynamics NAV users receive on-demand access through Azure, thereby reducing capital expenses for a pay-as-you-go alternative. Furthermore, Dynamics NAV Azure users can scale their modules up-or-down to match fluctuating business cycles. Traditional cloud service models are usually based upon fixed monthly costs, as an example.
Last year, a survey byR IDG esearch Services indicated that 72% of the respondents “have at least one application in the cloud” while 56% of IT decision-makers were “investigating where cloud service can be leveraged.”
To facilitate moving Dynamics NAV to the cloud Microsoft incorporates a “provisioning tool.” Plans available for Dynamics NAV Azure include a 6 and 12 month plan.
Deploying Dynamics NAV on a single, Azure “virtual machine” (VM) means accessibility to all of the Web Server key components; NAV Server, SQL Server. In addition, NAV “database components are installed on the same virtual machine.” Ideal for SMB users, companies can choose from a graduated selection of Small, Medium, Large and ExtraLarge VMs.
“Users can access Microsoft Dynamics NAV data by using the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client from a ClickOnce deployment, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client, and OData and SOAP web services.”
