Energy service provider Petrofac needed to overcome the challenge of providing expensive specialized desktop hardware to their thousands of engineers, each working on bulky 3D image files. Then the pandemic hit, necessitating a platform that would enable their engineers to work from anywhere, anytime.
The combination of Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop with Azure NetApp Files, deploying in just a few weeks, may have helped save the company during this trying time of multinational lockdown. The high-performance, low-latency, and scalable solution proved highly cost-effective for Petrofac’s demanding and fluid production needs—reducing hardware costs, overcoming bandwidth concerns, and winning over a geographically diverse group of engineers.
