Windows Azure cuts up to 30% Infra Cost of Winjit Technologies

Winjit Technologies has announced its partnership with Microsoft to cater to the explosive growth in the reach of their mobile applications and thereby has deployed Windows Azure to manage its IT requirements effectively and reduce its infrastructure cost by 30%.
 
Winjit leveraged Windows Azure services such as support for PHP, Java and Linux and Azure media services that helped create a media streaming server on Azure in no time. By migrating its development infrastructure  Team Foundation Server and Exchange Server – to the Windows Azure platform, Winjit’s cost per development seat has also reduced significantly.
 
Ashwin Kandoi, Co-Founder, Winjit, said, Windows Azure has proven to be the Cloud platform that helps us focus our energy on doing what we do best  build high-quality apps  without worrying about where our backend infrastructure is. In fact, seeing the success and the cost benefits of moving to Windows Azure, we are now considering moving our complete infrastructure over to Azure!
 
Winjit has been able to reduce their infrastructure cost and accelerate the development of their applications by migrating to a Cloud environment. In less than two weeks, we moved most of Winjit’s existing marquee mobile apps to Windows Azure, said Srikanth Karnakota, Director  Server and Tool Business, Microsoft.
 
Before deciding upon Windows Azure, Winjit had evaluated cloud services from other vendors as well.
