Case Study: Datapipe achieves top-line growth and bottom-line savings with Citrix CloudPlatform

Datapipe evolves their virtualization platform with Citrix CloudPlatform

Datapipe, a global IT services provider, needed to evolve its Stratosphere virtualization platform to meet growing cloud demand. Customers wanted more control without always relying on managed services, and Datapipe required a globally replicable, non‑proprietary architecture that preserved consistency for existing managed-service clients while meeting tight time‑to‑market constraints.

Datapipe selected Citrix CloudPlatform (powered by Apache CloudStack) for its openness and hypervisor‑neutral design, enabling a single “360‑degree” platform for public, private, hybrid and managed clouds and integration with Citrix NetScaler, XenDesktop and XenApp. The solution and close Citrix partnership delivered top‑line growth and larger RFP wins, datacenter efficiencies and cost savings, faster deployments (about one hour vs. five days) and greater customer choice through self‑service provisioning.
