Trustwave has significantly enhanced its Microsoft Azure Marketplace offering with the addition of three security solutions that will help clients meet their Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC).
Starting immediately, Trustwave MXDR for Microsoft, MXDR Elite for Microsoft with Co-Managed SOC, and MailMarshal with Microsoft O365 are Azure Benefits Eligible in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
Understanding Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitments (MACC)
Microsoft Azure has established itself as a leading cloud computing platform, offering a wide range of services to meet the diverse needs of organizations. Most organizations utilizing the Azure solution platform typically negotiate a strategic discount level defined by their Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC). But what exactly is MACC, and why is it important for organizations?
What is MACC?
Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) is a contractual agreement between an organization and Microsoft, where the organization commits to spending a certain amount on Azure services over a specified period. This commitment allows organizations to plan and manage their cloud spending more effectively, ensuring they get the most value out of their investment in Azure.
Why is MACC Important?
- Cost Management: By committing to a specific Azure cloud spend, organizations can better predict and manage their cloud costs, ensuring there are no unexpected expenses.
- Discounts and Incentives: Organizations that enter into a MACC often receive discounts and incentives from Microsoft. These can include reduced rates on Azure services, making it more cost-effective to run workloads on Azure.
- Strategic Alignment: A MACC encourages organizations to strategically align their cloud initiatives with their overall business goals.
Leveraging Azure Marketplace’s ‘Azure Benefits Eligible’ Offerings
One of the ways organizations can maximize the value of their MACC is by leveraging offerings in the Azure Marketplace and AppSource designated as Azure Benefits Eligible.
These offerings are solutions that qualify for MACC decrement. This means that any spending on eligible offerings counts towards fulfilling the organization's MACC.
How Organizations Leverage These Offerings
- Diverse Solutions: The Azure Marketplace offers a wide range of solutions, from software and services to virtual machines and containers. Organizations can find offerings that meet their specific needs while also contributing to their MACC.
- Ease of Integration: Many of the Azure Benefits Eligible offerings are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing Azure services. This makes it easier for organizations to adopt and deploy these solutions without significant changes to their infrastructure.
- Optimized Spending: By choosing Azure Benefits Eligible offerings, organizations can ensure that their spending is optimized. Every pre-tax dollar spent on Azure Benefits Eligible solutions helps in meeting the MACC, making it a win-win situation.
