According to Microsoft, the adoption of Windows
Azure is meant to provide Samsung with the possibility to achieve
significant reduction in costs, while benefiting from larger capacity to
meet the demand for an increased number of users.
Samsung is currently offering Smart TV in over 120 countries all
around the world, and is aiming at growing its foothold significantly.
For that, the company was looking for a solution that would provide
support for ongoing, reliable service, as well as for large increase in
traffic.
At the same time, the adoption of Windows Azure enables Samsung to not be dependent on specific suppliers, Microsoft explains.
The company also notes that Samsung did take other products into
consideration before adopting Microsoft’s solution, but that it decided
that Windows Azure would be perfect for its mission-critical needs and
its planned expansion of service.
“After extensive testing,
Windows Azure is the cloud offering that met our exacting conditions,”
said an official at Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business
Division.
By choosing the management of its infrastructure through the cloud, Samsung achieved a tenfold cost reduction.
Additionally, Windows Azure provided the company with the possibility
to quickly secure needed server and storage resources and to focus on
the high-quality software and services that its customers are looking to
receive.
Samsung’s scalable infrastructure, including Windows
Azure, will deliver a smooth, fast service to the company’s users.
Moreover, the adoption of the cloud resulted in greater speed of service
in Asia, where it registers most of its Smart TV traffic.
“Samsung Electronics’ Smart TV is taking advantage of the unique
capabilities of Windows Azure,” said Bob Kelly, corporate vice president
of Windows Azure at Microsoft. “Windows Azure gives Samsung the ability
to focus on its business rather than having its technical team deal
with problem-solving and troubleshooting issues.”
