Case Study: Global Clothing and Accessories Retailer Company achieves 4x faster lifecycle management and unifies 12 VMware Tanzu foundations with Altoros

Optimizing Resource Utilization and Achieving Infrastructure Automation

A US-based global clothing and accessories retailer (annual revenue $16.6B, 3,000+ stores) engaged Altoros to address an inefficient, compute‑intensive localized promotional pricing model that required processing 60 TB of data from multiple sources and managing 12 isolated VMware Tanzu foundations across different infrastructure vendors. The customer needed to optimize resource use, automate infrastructure provisioning under strict security rules, and unify lifecycle management.

Altoros migrated the pricing system onto VMware Tanzu and refactored it into a microservices architecture, used Tesora and Denodo to streamline data services and virtualization, and implemented a Concourse CI‑based pipeline that consumed precreated infrastructure while provisioning remaining components; the team also installed the IPsec add‑on for Tanzu to secure sensitive data. As a result, Altoros unified the 12 Tanzu foundations, improved lifecycle management by 4×, enabled secure handling of 60 TB of data, and delivered more scalable, cost‑efficient cloud resource utilization.
