Realise the full potential of your applications in the cloud
Start small, dream big. Get the scale, power and global reach your startup demand to meet the needs of your customers as your business grows—without rearchitecting your applications. Run your apps at cloud scale with a rich set of services which allow you to focus all of your energy on building applications instead of managing infrastructure.
“The reality is that CareOtter, being a startup company, would have been very hard to do even 5 years ago. Service Fabric allows me to focus on the software that I build and not the infrastructure that runs it.”
Tyler Downs, VP of Development
One solution, many customers, always up to date
Serve the broadest range of customers from the same codebase. Update in real-time as small development teams work independently, using continuous delivery pipelines and rolling upgrades to ensure customers always have the access to the latest features.
“We have found actors to be a natural way to model users in our system. They allow us to focus on our core functionality while inherently supporting persistence, scalability and resiliency.”
Dr. Gregory Athas, Principal Software Architect
Avoid costly maintenance outages
Deliver the best customer service and business value by keeping your applications running 24x7 without the need for lengthy maintenance windows to deploy and test new features and bug fixes.
“The ability to provide rolling updates to a distributed production system while maintaining state is game-changing.”
Bill Craun, Principal Software Engineer
Create a more cost-effective supply chain
Integrate big data from across the enterprise value chain and use advanced analytics in real time to optimise supply-side performance and save money. Embrace proactive measures with a live view into your supply chain—assess inventory levels, predict product fulfillment needs and identify potential backlog issues.
“We wanted to go beyond the industry standard of preventative maintenance to offer predictive and even preemptive maintenance, so we can guarantee a higher uptime percentage on our elevators.”
Andreas Schierenbeck, CEO
Be more efficient in everything you do
Uncover insights buried in your data to optimise the way you do business. Whether organising human resources, managing supply chains or forecasting staff and customer needs, understanding the factors that affect operational efficiency is essential to streamlining your business.
“We plan to deploy Microsoft Azure technologies across all of our monitoring applications, because they enable us to orchestrate data more effectively across increasingly complex environments. We can serve remote customers, wherever in the world they are, at a level of efficiency that has not been possible before.”
John Dyck, Director of Software Business Development
