Overview

In MarkLogic 9, we are partnering with Microsoft team to help you deploy MarkLogic clusters on Azure cloud. We provide an officially supported MarkLogic Azure image and Azure Solution Templates to set up your MarkLogic clusters in a few clicks. MarkLogic has a strong track record of running in development and production environment with major cloud providers, and this will continue to expand MarkLogic’s capabilities in the cloud.

In addition to officially supporting MarkLogic on Azure platform, many MarkLogic 9 features are designed for a better and easier deployment and management on cloud platforms. With new security features such as Encryption, Redaction and Element-level Security, MarkLogic is designed to securely host your data on public cloud environments. Please refer to security guide on the new features in MarkLogic 9. In addition, MarkLogic introduces a new support work flow through the Telemetry feature, which aims to shorten resolution time by making system level log, metering and configuration data accessible as soon as you reach MarkLogic Support. This new support workflow increases the availability of your applications in cloud environments.

Why It Matters - Cloud Neutrality

For many organizations, moving data and applications to cloud environments are among their most important IT initiatives in the next five years. Seeing the needs and requirements from our customers, we are enhancing the features and functionality that make MarkLogic easy and secure to deploy in the cloud.

Recognizing that there is variance in architecture, hardware and software layers, and service offerings that are available with different cloud platforms, MarkLogic is keen to enable you to run on the public cloud of your choice. We believe that the step towards our official partnership with Microsoft Azure and the options available for MarkLogic cloud deployments will help to shape your IT roadmap for the future.
