Enterprise AI on Microsoft Azure — Architected, Deployed and Managed by Speedster IT

Azure OpenAI gives you the same underlying models as OpenAI, including GPT-4o, but deployed within Microsoft’s Azure infrastructure. Your data stays within your chosen Azure region, Microsoft’s enterprise agreements apply, and the service is covered by Azure’s uptime SLAs. For businesses that need to evidence data residency or compliance, Azure OpenAI is the correct enterprise route.
