Azure VM setup for small businesses
An Azure virtual machine (VM) is a cloud-hosted Windows or Linux server that businesses use for hosting applications, replacing physical servers, or providing remote desktop access for staff. For small businesses, Azure VMs offer flexibility — you pay for what you use, scale when you need to, and avoid the cost and maintenance of on-premise hardware.
London PC Fix sets up and configures Azure VMs for small businesses across London, handling everything from initial provisioning and networking to remote desktop configuration and Microsoft 365 integration.
We work with businesses that are new to Azure as well as those already using M365 who want to extend into Azure infrastructure.
