Case Study: eMeter achieves global agility and cuts deployment time from weeks to hours with Bluelock hybrid cloud solution

eMeter Implements Hybrid Cloud Solution for Massive Gains in Global Agility, Cutting Deployment Time from Weeks to Hours

eMeter, a Siemens business that builds the EnergyIP platform for utilities, needed flexible, short‑term compute capacity to support intensive global “boot‑camp” training and expedite worldwide deployments. The company faced underused hardware, slow and costly procurement—especially in India—and a small IT team stretched thin managing disparate, location‑specific infrastructure.

Working with Bluelock and VMware vCloud Director, eMeter adopted a hybrid cloud that let the team clone and deploy environments in hours instead of weeks, achieving about 95% virtualization across its ecosystem. The change cut capital and operational costs, gave unified management and cost transparency, sped recovery (e.g., a sandbox restored in three hours), saved administrative time and increased agility for faster product development and market delivery.
