The Blink Network Migrates to Microsoft Azure for Improved Network Performance, Operability and EV Driver Experience
November 19 2019 - 8:50AM
Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK, BLNKW), Blink Charging announced
the modernization of its cloud computing for its proprietary Blink
Network which connects thousands of electric vehicle (EV) charging
stations across the country. The company, founded in 2010, upgraded
its network and operations to the Microsoft Azure cloud computing
services to prepare for future needs as the EV industry continues
to grow.
The transition to Azure provides Blink the
scalability to add additional EV charging stations to its rapidly
growing network of equipment both across the United States and
globally. The upgrade will also allow the Blink Network to be
expandable internationally and to flawlessly control the
administration of the EV driver charging experience across the
globe.
This investment in infrastructure improvements
showcases the company’s focus on expanding its infrastructure in
response to its rapid growth and deployments of EV charging
stations.
The Microsoft Azure service provides Blink
members, and users of its charging stations, reliable service with
robust system monitoring, scalability regarding infrastructure and
system integrations, and rigorous disaster recovery and business
continuity redundancies. The Azure platform will ensure the Blink
Network operates with maximum uptime ensuring that the EV charging
stations are always ready and able to support drivers across the
country.
“We are in a high growth stage and focused on
implementing strategic initiatives that support our goal of
becoming the leading owner and operator of EV charging equipment.
This investment in infrastructure will provide the reliability,
expandability, and scalability necessary to achieve our goal,”
shared Michael D. Farkas, Blink Chairman, and CEO.
Moving to the Azure environment has also allowed
the company to create additional levels of security to the network
through the system architecture strengthening it against
cybersecurity threats.
Blink’s move to Microsoft Azure is aligned with
global standards for a modern cloud computing platform. Globally,
90% of Fortune 500 companies are using Azure, providing the company
the ability to build, manage, and deploy applications on a massive,
global network.
