SOLUTION
The scalability of Microsoft Azure allows any enterprise of any size to sell tickets through the Bookitbee system. The system initially was built in scalable modules running on Amazon Web Services. By switching from AWS to Microsoft Azure, Bookitbee found that scaling the modules is quicker and more robust. Furthermore, being able to select the geolocation of the Microsoft Azure service allows Bookitbee to comply with each nation’s stringent data storage requirements.​
BENEFITS
Microsoft Azure scalability equates to a significant economic advantage as cloud costs are directly proportional to traffic.
Azure’s geolocation capabilities allow an enterprise to meet each country’s data storage mandates.
