Gridsum: Software Developer Switches From Rackspace to Go Global, Expects 30 Percent More Revenue

Gridsum is a member of the Microsoft Partner Network and an independent software vendor based in Beijing, China, that develops search engine marketing and analytics solutions. China-based Gridsum wanted to deliver its services to customers outside of China, but without the latency issues that global customers would face with a solution hosted only in China. Gridsum migrated its Web Dissector service to Windows Azure and now enjoys simplified IT maintenance along with a solution that is highly available, no matter where customers are located. By expanding its business, Gridsum anticipates a 30 percent revenue boost.
