Integration Details

We deploy our entire data platform within your Azure environment, ensuring you maintain complete control and ownership of your infrastructure and data. Our deployment model creates a dedicated subscription within your Azure account where we provision and manage all necessary resources—from virtual machines and storage accounts to databases and networking components.

Our Azure integration leverages the full suite of Azure services to deliver a secure, scalable, and compliant data platform:

Deployment Architecture:

• Dedicated subscription within your Azure account with clear resource boundaries
• Organized resource groups for logical separation of compute, storage, networking, and data services
• Azure Virtual Networks (VNets) with private endpoints and VPN/ExpressRoute connectivity to your on-premises systems
• Deployed across multiple availability zones for high availability and disaster recovery

Core Azure Services Integration:

• Azure Compute: Virtual Machines (VMs) and VM Scale Sets for data processing and application hosting
• Azure Storage: Blob Storage for data lakes, Azure Files for shared file systems, and managed disks for persistent storage
• Azure Databases: Azure SQL Database, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and Cosmos DB for operational and analytical workloads
• Azure Networking: VNets, Network Security Groups (NSGs), Azure Firewall, and Application Gateway for secure connectivity
• Azure Data Services: Azure Data Factory for ETL/ELT pipelines, Azure Synapse Analytics for data warehousing, and Azure Databricks for lakehouse workloads

Governance & Management:

• Leverage Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates and Bicep for infrastructure-as-code deployments
• Implement Azure Policy and Azure RBAC for granular access controls and compliance enforcement
• Enable Azure Monitor and Log Analytics for comprehensive observability and audit logging
• Integrate with your existing Azure Active Directory for single sign-on and identity management

You retain full administrative control over your Azure tenant and subscriptions. We operate within the dedicated subscription you provide, managing the day-to-day platform operations while respecting your governance policies, naming conventions, and compliance requirements.

FAQs

1. How do you deploy within our Azure environment?

We create a dedicated subscription within your Azure account—typically under your root management group or within a specific organizational hierarchy you define. Within that subscription, we deploy all necessary resource groups, VNets, compute resources, storage accounts, and databases. You maintain ownership and billing visibility, while we handle provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and ongoing management. We use Azure Resource Manager templates and infrastructure-as-code practices to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments. You can grant us contributor-level access scoped to only that subscription, ensuring we never have access to other subscriptions or resources in your tenant.

2. What Azure services do you integrate with?

We integrate with the full spectrum of Azure services to deliver a comprehensive data platform. For compute, we use Azure Virtual Machines and VM Scale Sets. For storage, we leverage Blob Storage for data lakes and Azure Files for shared storage needs. For databases, we deploy Azure SQL Database, PostgreSQL, and Cosmos DB depending on your workload requirements. For networking, we configure VNets with private endpoints, Network Security Groups, and VPN/ExpressRoute connectivity. We also integrate with Azure Data Factory for data pipelines, Azure Synapse for analytics, Azure Databricks when needed, and Azure Monitor for observability. Everything runs natively on Azure, optimized for performance and cost efficiency.

3. Who manages the Azure subscription and its resources?

We manage all resources within the dedicated subscription—from initial provisioning through ongoing operations, updates, scaling, and optimization. This includes managing VMs, storage accounts, databases, networking configurations, and monitoring. However, you retain full ownership and administrative control of the subscription itself within your Azure account. You have complete visibility into costs through Azure Cost Management, can review resource deployments at any time, and can enforce Azure Policies or apply tags according to your governance standards. We operate transparently within your governance framework, providing regular reports on resource usage, costs, and any changes we make to the environment.
