Case Study: EDF achieves optimized performance and 60% audit-time reduction with Axway OmniVision

EDF Optimizing Performance and Capacity with Axway OmniVision

EDF France, part of the global EDF Group, needed to reduce IT costs through virtualization while improving capacity and real-time performance management across a heterogeneous estate of 2,000 production servers and optimizing audit services. The IT team faced low CPU utilization, fragmented metrics, and slow, manual audits that hindered responsiveness and cloud-readiness.

EDF deployed Axway OmniVision and OmniVision Investigation to centralize metrics, automate real-time data collection and reporting, and provide a shared capacity-management repository and portal. The solution cut audit time by 60%, raised CPU utilization from ~20% to over 50%, supported 50% virtualization of production servers, increased stakeholder visibility (portal viewed ~600 times/month), enabled internal chargeback and better incident root-cause analysis, and paved the way for private cloud management.
