Azure Cloud Infrastructure: Dynamics 365 is built on Microsoft Azure, a highly scalable and secure cloud computing platform. Azure provides the underlying infrastructure to host Dynamics 365 applications, ensuring high availability, scalability, and data security.
On-Premises Components: In some scenarios, organizations may choose to deploy Dynamics 365 on their own infrastructure, using on-premises components. This allows businesses to maintain greater control over their environment and data.
The Dynamics 365 architecture allows organizations to leverage the power of cloud-based applications and services, enabling seamless integration, scalability, and accessibility across different devices. It provides a unified platform for managing business processes, data, and analytics, empowering businesses to drive productivity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
Azure AD is the primary identity and access management service used for authenticating users in Dynamics 365.It enables Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple applications and services within the Azure ecosystem. Users authenticate using their Azure AD credentials, such as their username and password. Azure AD supports additional authentication methods like multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security.
