SOLUTION
FakeOFF chose Microsoft Azure, which it found had the perfect combination of features to meet its needs. FakeOFF built multiple virtual machines (VMs) spread across the globe to serve its app, which communicates with Microsoft Azure Storage at rapid speed and takes advantage of always-on databases on extremely powerful machines. Because Microsoft Azure offers pay- for-what-you-use pricing, the cost of the infrastructure needed at any given moment can be controlled.
BENEFITS
Microsoft Azure allows flexible platform settings; adding and changing VMs is fast and accurate.
Microsoft Azure helps build a solution that fits every budget, which is critical for young startups.
