Case Study: Metori Capital Management achieves rapid scalability, enhanced security, and cost savings with Microsoft Azure

Cloud born: financial startup uses Azure to compete, innovate, and scale

Paris-based Metori Capital Management, spun off from Lyxor in 2016, manages the Epsilon fund and €350 million in assets using proprietary trading algorithms. To scale globally while meeting compliance, safeguarding data, and ensuring business continuity, Metori needed an enterprise-grade platform that could support heavy processing, fast updates, and selective access for partners and customers.

Working with Microsoft Consulting Services, Metori moved Epsilon to Microsoft Azure in a two-stage migration—starting with Azure Virtual Machines and Azure SQL Database and progressing to Azure PaaS/SaaS and Office 365—while using Azure Log Analytics, Backup, Automation, Security Center, and VPN Gateway. The result: enterprise capabilities at far lower cost (CEO: it might have cost 10× more), seamless scalability and improved security, faster deployments, and the ability to manage €350M in assets while trading €30B a year and executing €150M a day.
