Case Study: Savoir‑Faire Linux builds scalable, high-performance open-source solutions for 500 customers with Microsoft Azure

Savoir-Faire Linux creates innovative open source software on Azure

Montreal‑based Savoir‑Faire Linux is a systems integrator with open source in its DNA, building everything from custom OS firmware and mobile apps to enterprise portals and document management systems. To support hundreds of customers and resource‑intensive big‑data projects, the company needed a reliable, highly available cloud platform that could run diverse open source stacks and deliver consistent scalability and performance.

Savoir‑Faire Linux adopted Microsoft Azure’s open source capabilities to host technologies such as Liferay, Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, Docker and more, enabling scalable, performant, and stable solutions for portals, document management, and analytics. Leveraging Azure’s reliability and availability, the firm now delivers robust data‑processing and big‑data analytics solutions to 500 customers globally while maintaining high uptime and scalability.
