Web3 infrastructure provider Ankr’s (ANKR) new app launched on Feb. 21 on Azure Marketplace in partnership with tech giant Microsoft.
The application is a node hosting solution that integrates both companies’ technologies. Ankr’s app uses Azure’s routing solutions to route Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) to the best-suited node, thereby increasing scalability and optimization.
Microsoft’s General Manager at AI & Emerging Technologies, Rashmi Misra, commented on the partnership and stated:
“Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.
Many developers and organizations are exploring how Web3 can help solve real-world business challenges, and our partnership with Ankr will enable them to access blockchain data in a reliable, scalable, and secure way,”
Azure is Microsoft’s public cloud computing platform. Azure marketplace offers various services to support organizations, including analytics, storage, and networking. Azure uses a pay-as-you-go-based membership plan — where subscribers gain full access to the Azure marketplace and pay based on the app they choose to use.
