Microsoft Windows and SQL Server on AWS
“We chose to move our Microsoft workloads to AWS because
of your extensive migration experience, higher availability, and
better performance. We are seeing 35% cost savings and
thrilled to see 4x faster launch times now.” – Ryan Hoffman,
Senior Vice President of Engineering
“We experimented with AWS Elastic Beanstalk and found it
was the simplest, fastest way to get .NET code running in
AWS.” – Bernie Gracy, Chief Digital Officer
“After migrating to AWS, we upgraded to SQL Server 2016
using SQL Server 2008 in compatibility mode, which meant we
did not have to make any application changes, and now have a
fully supported version of SQL Server.” – Udi Keidar, VP of
Cloud Services, ClickSoftware
