MDFT Pro is migrating their on-premises infrastructure to Azure as part of their digital transformation initiative. Currently, MDFT Pro uses a shared network folder on their local file server to store course materials, student assignments, trainer resources, and administrative documents that need to be accessible to both instructors and students across multiple locations.
