Case Study: Kokugakuin University achieves faster, more secure cloud-based web operations with Microsoft Corporation

University uses fast, highly secure, cloud-based information systems to support the next generation of global workers

Kokugakuin University, a large higher education institution in Japan, needed a more secure and reliable way to run its website and student-facing systems. Its WordPress-based environment had become a security concern, and managing separate providers for infrastructure and applications made it difficult to diagnose and resolve server issues.

Microsoft Corporation, working through Azure and KUSANAGI for Microsoft Azure from the Azure Marketplace, helped the university test and migrate to a cloud-based WordPress setup. The new solution improved speed significantly, strengthened security, and supported the university’s business continuity plan while keeping costs under control; Microsoft Azure also gave staff a user-friendly platform and low-cost academic options for students.
