What if your campaign goes viral?
The holiday season for an e-commerce site or a campaign gone viral on a social site spell an unprecedented increase in website traffic. Using Windows Azure, I add scalability to websites to handle peak loads on demand and ensure no opportunity is missed.
Website Traffic surge is difficult to judge and involves heavy capital investment – which may still not be enough. The biggest lesson that I have learnt during the course of my work with over 20 social and e-commerce sites is that cloud is actually the silver bullet for managing unpredictable traffic.

Approach

We understand that cloud adoption calls for a fundamental change in the approach to IT. In order to facilitate this change and accelerate cloud adoption we bring in our Cloud Ninjas, Service Delivery Platform complete with consultative frameworks, and the world’s first PaaS ready accelerator suite, all focused on seamless adoption in the shortest possible time.

Cloud Ninjas

We bring the best minds in the industry on Windows Azure. We are backed by our experience of working with over 65 customers, deployment of 100 applications and over 100,000 hours on Azure.

Microsoft Partnership

We are the #1 cloud partner with Microsoft. We were one of the first to adopt the idea of cloud in general and Windows Azure in particular. We share a close partnership with Microsoft for both deployment and go-to market.

Riviera – Azure Reference Architecture

As a result of our leadership in Windows Azure, Microsoft invited us to create the reference architecture for Project Riviera – Microsoft’s comprehensive code sample to demonstrate how to develop multi-tenant highly-scalable line-of-business applications on Windows Azure Platform.

PaaS Library

Our PaaS accelerator suite has been created with one aim – Faster time-to-market

  • Cloud WCM in-a-Box – Ready-to-deploy cloud website content management and social plugins
  • Cloud Storage Library – Library for moving your data efficiently to SQL Azure
  • DNS Attack Throttler – Cloud-based deployment mechanisms to ensure website security
  • Design and Code Patterns– Reusable design and code patterns for common cloud features to ensure faster builds and prototypes
  • Deployment Topologies – Ready framework for arrival at the resulting deployment architecture
  • Azure Security Essentials – Ready framework to ensure website security and ensuring compliance to world class security standards

Entergy

The second-largest nuclear power generator in U.S. wanted to overhaul its disaster management site, so that it would have the scalability to accommodate any traffic surge to its website during any disaster. We architected the website to leverage the features and advantages of Windows Azure, resulting in a real-time scalable and secure disaster management website.

Microsoft Partner portal

Every year, over 140000 Microsoft certified partners log on to the world's largest partner portal to renew their membership. The renewal process requires data and workflow integration across multiple locations, certifications, pipeline info and databases. For a few weeks, the performance and usability of the partner portal required significant upgrades. Aditi worked with Microsoft IT to move aspects of the process to Azure, enabling a smoother and faster renewal process without additional investment in infrastructure. The migration was completed in 2 months to make the partner portal ready for renewal season.

Loss of website scalability leads to a negative brand experience and an inevitable loss of sales opportunities.

We can help. By rebuilding your website from scratch, in the cloud, with inbuilt scalability and load balance across multiple hosted Windows Azure services.Your website remains fast despite any traffic surge, and continues to provide a consistent customer experience.

We have ready templates and plugins for cloud onboarding of marketing, ecommerce and social sites - ensuring a faster time-to-market for your website.
