The music database Bandbase.dk has moved into the Cloud and is
now being hosted in Microsofts data center using Windows Azure.
As Microsoft launched Windows Azure, the people behind bandbase.dk
decided to look at the possibilities for moving to a Cloud-based
platform and to leave the hosting task in the hand of
professionals.
More than 50% savings on hosting costs
In coorporation with Jayway and Proactive an evaluation of the
existing set-up was made. When proven that a transition to the
Microsofts Azure platform would lower the monthly hosting costs
with more than 50 percent the decision was made.
100.000 monthly visitors
Bandbase.dk is now running in the Cloud and every month over
100.000 users visits the new Azure based site bandbase.dk
"We are very happy with the transition", says Bandbase CEO
Martin Buck and continues: "The Microsofts Azure Platform is very
flexible and scalable, this has meant that we need less computer
power than estimated. Our costs has therefore been cut with more
than 50 percent and we have a less than 6-month ROI."
