Anthony Lewkowicz, Technical Architect and Chief Info Security Officer at Chronodrive"We like the data security and replication services that we get in Azure, as well as the increased agility it gives us. We can install a new application in Azure in less than one day."
Philip Ball, Chief Technical Officer at Serko"Azure had the best pricing of several options, and it was better aligned to our strategy because we use a great deal of Microsoft software."
Nasuni, State of Cloud Storage"For the second year in a row, Microsoft is the top CSP for public cloud storage. In our most important suite of tests—the benchmark tests—Microsoft consistently performed better than Amazon. It delivered the best speeds across small and medium-sized files and, in some cases, beat Amazon by nearly 2x."
