Running Red Hat Enterprise Linux VMs on Azure enabled Sony Global Manufacturing & Operations to lower costs while sustaining the quality level of support services. https://customers.microsoft.com/doclink/sony-visionarts https://aka.ms/Vdqh2x Azure ExpressRoute Azure Backup Azure Log Analytics Azure Security Center Red Hat Enterprise Linux 125,300 Professional services Japan Open source
