"Hyper-V shows performance unlike that of a physical server, and we were able to dramatically reduce costs. The simple integrated management also made it easier to effectively respond to shortened game development cycles."
“The great thing about Azure is that Microsoft does look at the whole application stack. It’s not just about building a service and standing it up. In Azure, that end-to-end tooling spans the whole development lifecycle from design right the way through to production and operationalisation. It’s one of my key design principles and main reasons for choosing Azure.”
"To improve operational efficiencies and decrease turnaround times for responding to faults, we adopted a strategy to become more available and accountable to citizens."
“It was the best instance of public-private partnership that I’ve seen in a long time.”
"Without Logic Apps, there’s no way we would have accomplished this level of integration in four months."
"We have confirmed that by combining Azure and Azure Stack, we can deploy application functionality as needed both in the cloud and on-premises. This provides new options to our customers and to MKI and could revolutionize application design."
"If we deploy Azure Stack on-premises at our worldwide locations, we can deploy Azure-developed applications in Azure Stack and in Azure. This will make it possible to conduct proof-of-concept and early-development phases in the public cloud and to deploy this same framework on-premises when it is commercialized."
"As one of the early adopters, we’re actively testing a Microsoft Azure Stack integrated system to ensure that our mission-critical applications will run smoothly. Our goal is to leverage the capabilities of Azure and Azure Stack to provide hybrid cloud services for various business applications across the Mitsui group."
“Since the public cloud came into being, the lack of integration between on-premises and public clouds in application deployment and operation methods has put a heavy burden on technicians.”
"We could never go back from the cloud. Choosing Azure was an essential step in our evolution. We wouldn’t have been able to develop natural disaster models without it."
"The VMware solution required 15 people to perform a DR failover; Azure Site Recovery requires three.… We now have more resources to focus on onboarding new customers and delivering products on time."
"With Azure Site Recovery, DR testing is easy … so we can do it whenever customers want. Everything’s automated. It makes us way more comfortable with our DR setup."
"We didn’t have to buy more storage because we can use our StorSimple devices for hosting employees’ drives and serving as restoration targets."
"Compared with our previous backup solution, our Azure solution costs significantly less to run. That, combined with the capital savings associated with the StorSimple devices, have produced a six-digit cost savings."
“Our infrastructure was being maintained in a way that was designed only to keep services running and we didn’t have control of the underlying architecture, so we couldn’t make changes to help with long-term strategy. And even though a lot of the hardware was fairly ancient, we were paying hefty costs.”
