Can Azure Scale? You Bet!

We have the first verified Guinness Book World record hosted on Azure! 

This week Ortsbo set a world record for the most nationalities hosted in a live chat event. Ortsbo allows you to talk to anyone anywhere in any language.

They needed attendees from 50, but had participants from over 100 countries around the world.   

They were able to set this record with just 8 Extra Large (XL) instances, and when the event ended they deleted the service so they’re not paying for it any longer.
