20. Successful enterprises that run Windows on AWS
“Amazon Virtual Private Cloud
(Amazon VPC) gives us a secure
environment in the AWS Cloud
with the flexibility and scalability
we need to manage our SharePoint
environment with zero impact to
our on-premises datacenter”
- Jeremy Fuchs, Vice President of
Financial and BI Systems, Lionsgate
“Using AWS, we decreased
average network latency
from 700 milliseconds to less
than 50 milliseconds…
Fundamentally, running in
AWS enables a 230 percent
CPU consumption efficiency in
data processing.”
- Murari Gopalan, Technology
Director, Expedia.com
“We didn’t have time to re-
design applications. AWS could
support our legacy 32-bit
applications on Windows
Server 2003, a variety of SQL
Server and Oracle databases,
and a robust Citrix
environment.”
- Jim McDonald, Lead Architect, Hess
Corporation
“Dole leverages Amazon VPC
technology to turn AWS into a natural
extension for our data center, running
their our SharePoint deployment,
corporate business intelligence and
mobile applications. We chose AWS
because of cost, efficiency, and to
improve operational efficiency.”
- Joanna Dyer, Director, IT Solutions, Dole
