Case Studies
Arecon Data
is Pumping data through the cloud to help pump oil out of the ground using Azure RemoteApp. Customers access Oil Country OS as if it was running locally. “
In this industry, field workers often have very limited bandwidth. Azure makes it easy just to push data back and forth as needed
” says the customer.
BreedIT
is Revolutionizing the way plant breeders and researchers plan, manage, and analyze breeding programs, learn how they use Azure RemoteApp along with Azure SQL to ensure customers have complete information segregation and confidential storage of proprietary data according to the highest and stringent security procedures. “
We originally ran iBreedIT as a cloud solution using Amazon, but we had to do a lot of the configuration and maintenance ourselves to get the same quality of service, scalability, and backup that we get with Azure
,” explains Yahali Sherman, CTO at BreedIT.
