Why are customers running

Windows on AWS?

Customer Success Story

Searching for a solution to host its Microsoft SharePoint sites, the company

chose AWS because of cost, efficiency, and to improve operational efficiency. By

running on AWS, Dole can launch a new SharePoint website in minutes and

estimates savings $350,000 in operating expenses.

“When we were looking for a place to put our SharePoint install, we built out a [Amazon] virtual private

cloud, effectively using it as an extension of our datacenter… We can grow any time we want– we don’t

have to go and acquire new hardware.”

– Joanna, Dyer, Director of IT Solutions, Dole Food Company

Customer Success Story

Hess turned to AWS to help consolidate disparate systems, include multiple

legacy versions Windows Server 2003, and 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server

2000, 2005, 2008 that had built up over many years of M&A activity. Hess was

able to complete a full consolidation of 300 Microsoft workloads in under 6

months.

“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
