What prompted Alaska's migration to Microsoft Azure?
The State of Alaska faced challenges with its legacy on-premises infrastructure, which was complex, inefficient, and costly. Additionally, the state's vast geography made it difficult to provide consistent access to digital services. To overcome these issues and enhance modernization, security, and workforce development, Alaska contracted with Microsoft to migrate its internal and public-facing applications to Azure.
How many applications and servers were migrated?
In just three months, the State of Alaska successfully migrated 1,200 servers and 700 applications to Microsoft Azure. This rapid migration was part of a larger strategy to modernize the state's infrastructure and improve access to digital services for its residents.
What benefits has Alaska experienced from the migration?
Since migrating to Azure, Alaska has improved the resiliency and reliability of its systems, enhanced security, and increased transparency across departments. The state is also reducing costs by consolidating infrastructure and decommissioning legacy systems, while providing better access to government services for residents, including those in remote areas.
