Case Study: X5 Music achieves more efficient cloud operations with Basefarm

Music in the Cloud Provides New Opportunities for Tech Companies

X5 Music, a Swedish digital music company, needed help managing the growing availability, support, and operational demands of its music services. As its success increased, the small development team struggled to keep up, especially as they moved more services into Microsoft Azure. Basefarm came in to help create a more secure and uniform operating environment in Azure while taking over support and monitoring.

With Basefarm’s guidance, X5 Music simplified its cloud setup and moved toward more automated operations, reducing the need for staffed monitoring and even potentially eliminating the need for a support agreement. The result was more time for development, better handling of production peaks, and cost efficiency through Azure’s pay-for-used-capacity model. Basefarm’s support also helped X5 Music use Azure more effectively and with greater confidence.
