<p>Took a while to talk with all of the players but here is the verdict we came up with.</p>
<p>Some services and products may work perfectly well using Azure but dedicating all services would have a noticeable degradation in service.</p>
<p>We haven't decided conclusively (I'll post here when we definitely know) but we are likely to virtualize all of our servers and host them at DRFortress.</p>

<p>Along with this we will be changing our network from a closed RNS HawaiianTel circuit to virtualizing our network with either Cisco Meraki products or Sophos Red products.

<p>I would have expected as much Dan but you are a fountain of good information.</p>
<p>Thanks for that.</p>

<p>Yes, we also use Azure for web apps and have had good experiences.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>
