Case Study: Azimut Group achieves minute-scale database scaling and 35% cost savings with Google Cloud Platform

Azimut Group scaling fast for smarter investment decisions

Azimut Group, a Milan‑based asset management firm operating in 15 countries, needed real‑time risk insights for advisors who process massive datasets from Bloomberg, Reuters and other sources. Their risk‑management dashboard and AI analytics required rapid increases in database capacity to support time‑sensitive trading decisions, but their previous cloud provider took a day to scale resources, creating unacceptable delays.

With Noovle’s support Azimut migrated to Google Cloud Platform, running 150 VMs and using App Engine, BigQuery, Cloud Spanner and Google’s global network to move about 800 TB of data per month. The switch cut cloud costs by 35%, reduced database scale‑up time to two minutes, improved speed, security and availability (removing the need for VPNs), and enabled development of a new customer trading app on App Engine/Spanner.
