Power of the Cloud unleashed

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE

 

Essar Group has implemented Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud services platform to deliver some of its applications in an effort to offer its customers Web-based applications with high performance and scalability.

Jayantha Prabhu, Chief Technology Officer, Essar Group said, "With Windows Azure, we don't have to spend money on hardware and software, and we don't have to spend time on administrative tasks related to infrastructure. A scalable, well-defined platform gives us much fewer problems to solve and more time to focus on the overall experience of the application. Since implementation, Essar has already experienced the multiple benefits of Microsoft's cloud technology. We quickly knew that we had made the best choice in selecting Windows Azure. In fact, we can maintain the high level of scalability needed at a lower total cost of ownership compared with an on-premises solution."

In coordination with MindTree, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Essar seamlessly transitioned four of its applications - HSECAR (Corrective Action Report (CAR) system), AVID (A Voyage into Insatiable Discovery), Saksham and Visitor Management System & Gate Pass System - to the Windows Azure platform in August 2011.
