As part of a new partnership arrangement, asset manager BlackRock will host its Aladdin investment management and operations system on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform.
BlackRock said that using Azure will accelerate innovation on Aladdin and enhance the client experience. Azure’s network of global data centers and capabilities will also be used to meet the localized needs of Aladdin clients, BlackRock said in a release.
