The car online presentation tool – created by MakoLab and CSP Automotive - has been transferred to Microsoft Azure platform. The transfer is related to the dynamic growth of the solution’s functionalities, the increase in the number of customers using it, and the need to ensure the reliability of the tool.
The Virtual Car 360 solution, supporting car sales using the online channel, is used by the growing number of entities both in Poland and worldwide. The data available in the application shows that the system is already processing almost half a million photos of vehicles put up for sale online. The tool is applied, among others, at 99Rent, Arval, Traficar, Master1 or the Swedish brand Riddermark Bil AB.
The growing base of data stored, the number of clients, end users, and operations conducted in the system result in Virtual Car 360 requiring a solution that warranties the highest security standards, scalability and availability regardless of the changing loading parameters. The choice was made to apply the top-class solution - Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft Azure is a cloud platform of extensive capabilities, additionally equipped with many unique services that perfectly fit into the processes applied in the Virtual Car 360 system. Among the main advantages resulting from the conducted migration, there is (confirmed by tests) a significant increase in the availability and stability of Virtual Car 360 applications, even in the case of unplanned heavy system loading.
Specialists from MakoLab, a certified Microsoft partner, were responsible for the migration as well as the adaptation works of some of the Virtual Car 360 functionalities to the optimal use of technological capabilities offered by MS Azure.
The server-side tools also provide additional capabilities of monitoring many independent parameters that affect the quality of the services offered. Moreover, what is vital in current web solutions development, MS Azure ensures the highest data and processes security standards.
Moving to Microsoft Azure is another step and investment in the development of Virtual Car 360 - a solution already well-received by the clients and end users.
