“In the initial phase, we adopted the National Lottery's cloud environment as-is. And shortly after that, we started an optimization process,” says Ken. “Afterwards, it became clear pretty quickly that they needed a uniform solution to manage their hybrid cloud.” So, Azure Arc was a perfect fit for them.
To best manage the National Lottery's hybrid infrastructure, we installed Azure Arc on their on-prem servers. By doing so, we could both ensure that their entire environment was visible in Azure and easily apply all of our cloud services to the rest of their IT infrastructure.
And that has several benefits:
Just like countless players could count on support from the National Lottery, they could count on ours. Because now, with their new Azure Arc solution and optimized infrastructure, they can reap the full benefits of their hybrid corporate environment. And thanks to our support, they're able to continously offer a secure and responsible gaming platform, which they greatly appreciate.
“Ken has played an essential role in this project”, says Fabrice. “He had the right knowhow to support us during the migrations. And has helped us find an innovative way to manage our infrastructure more efficiently.”
