As part of its hybrid cloud transformation with Microsoft Azure and Everpure Cloud, Mars achieved an 18:1 data reduction ratio – nine times its initial 2:1 target – and is on track to cut cloud storage costs by up to 50 per cent. The deployment also simplified Mars’ IT operations by integrating seamlessly with existing on-premises systems while providing unified monitoring and visibility through a single control plane. None of this comes at the expense of security. Built-in cyber resilience – immutable snapshots and rapid ransomware recovery – travels with the data wherever it sits. That’s the importance of a unified data plane: the visibility, control and resilience enterprises expect in their on-premises data centres, delivered directly in Azure with Everpure Cloud. This vision of frictionless hybrid management rests on a long-standing engineering partnership between Everpure and Microsoft. Everpure Cloud is delivered through the Microsoft Azure Native Integration programme – a select set of solution services engineered jointly with Microsoft. Our shared objective is simple and effective: bridge the operational gap between on-premises and public cloud data silos while solving common data management challenges. Being Azurenative means the consistency extends all the way through the operational layer – procurement, identity, automation and support included. What began as basic integration has grown into deep platform alignment. Together, Everpure and Microsoft focus on taking the complexity out of cloud operations. We achieve this by giving IT teams consistent management tools across both environments – improving efficiency, enhancing data protection and helping shared customers maximise every dollar of their cloud investment.
