Case Study: Canadian Museum for Human Rights achieves secure global digital storytelling with Microsoft Azure

Sharing the stories of a human rights museum around the world with Microsoft Azure Stack HCI solutions

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights needed a hybrid infrastructure that could support its global digital storytelling, interactive exhibits, and secure operations while using the same tools on-premises and in the cloud. As its existing server and SAN systems reached end of life, the museum turned to **Microsoft Azure** and Azure Stack HCI with DataON solutions to modernize its environment and better support its website, online content, and gallery systems.

**Microsoft Azure** helped the museum implement a software-defined hybrid HCI platform for VMs, storage, and backups, integrated with Azure public cloud services, Azure Blob storage, Office 365, and Azure Advanced Threat Protection. The result was a more secure and efficient architecture running about 60 to 100 VMs and protecting nearly a petabyte of data, while lowering capital and operational costs and improving performance for both online and onsite experiences.
