The UKFast Azure Discover and Assess managed service gives you the tools you need to optimise your Azure environment, helping you ensure it is reliable, secure and cost-effective.

As part of the service, we will review your existing cloud infrastructure and provide a report outlining its efficiency, together with detailed recommendations on how it can be improved.
