Customers are doing great things with Azure storage products
- Matt Douglas, Chief Enterprise Architect, Sentara Healthcare"Our tests with Azure Ultra Disk Storage have far surpassed our current production system-up to four times our current workload capacity. As a healthcare organization, we are breaking down barriers with Ultra Disk Storage and the M-series virtual machines."
- James Ferguson: Product Manager M&S"Microsoft Azure gives us good value when we need huge clusters for a couple of days to do a job, then lets us get rid of them to conserve, whereas the datacenter is almost completely unfeasible. That was a big, big game-changer for us."
Juan Pedro Bretti, Digital Transformation Engineer, E&P, Repsol"We wanted an on-premises-like performance for our reservoir simulation and analysis software. We were thrilled to see Azure NetApp Files exceeding our expectations with an over-five-times performance increase."
Uday Reddy, Director - Cloud Engineering, CONA Services LLC"CONA realized significantly improved query performance, flexibility, and cost optimization following migration of our BW on HANA environment to Azure VM scale-out cluster with Azure NetApp Files, and strong collaboration with Microsoft and NetApp teams."
Christian-Hans Bültemeier: CFO HANSA-FLEX AG"The Azure cloud platform is much better at fulfilling our future requirements than would have been possible with our on-premises systems."
