One Year Microsoft Cloud in Switzerland - Happy Birthday!
Short trip to 2019: The Microsoft Cloud will arrive in Switzerland in August 2019. Progress and business success for many companies and organizations are thus preprogrammed. What is this immense success based on? We have researched for you.
Technical background
The successful launch of Azure with more than 30 early adopters, over 30 partner launch events with 2500 participants and a webcast in September 2019 have been followed by numerous useful enhancements. The most important of these was the prioritization of key workloads, including SAP-on-Azure for Swiss Re and other customers. As early as December 2019, Microsoft 365 was launched including teams and could boast new important references such as the city of Zug. This was followed in June 2020 by the deployment of Microsoft 365 Multi-Geo. This allows multinational institutions to be supported even more optimally.
Certifications
ISO 9001, 20000 and 27017 certifications for Swiss DC were in addition to previous certifications and attestations: ISO 27001, 27018, 27701, C5, SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, CSA STAR and PCI. This was followed in June 2020 by the launch of Power BI as the first part of the Power platform. This was based on important field reports. Conclusion: After only one year, several thousand Azure customers and more than 10,000 M365 subscribers have already benefited from local data residency, lower latency and geo-redundant disaster recovery in the country.
Microsoft Cloud Switzerland is a success for everyone
Primo Amrein from Microsoft Cloud Switzerland would like to thank everyone involved in the success of the project. Customers and partners, ISVs and start-ups as well as local DC Operations crews are primarily involved in the positive balance. But that is not all. Customers can look forward to further new Azure services. For example, the first Dynamics 365 workloads will be launched at the end of 2020, as previously announced.
Benefits for Swiss SMEs and public organizations
We at Baggenstos are also convinced that Microsoft's trustworthy partner ecosystem will also greatly enhance their digital transformation. Swiss SMEs and public sector customers in particular can benefit from inspiring cloud solutions and use the three cloud platforms to their advantage. The experiences of recent months show the increasing interest in the products.
