Case Study: Fortune 500 Retailing Company achieves self-service IT and 50% faster deployments with CloudBolt Software

Fortune 500 Retailing Company - Customer Case Study

Fortune 500 Retailing Company, a US-based retailer with 25,000 employees and $3.5B in revenue, needed on-demand access to production and dev/test resources for its e-commerce teams while maintaining strict PCI and compliance standards. Their homegrown OpenStack effort failed to meet cross-business needs and threatened infrastructure fragmentation, extra costs, and duplicated work. CloudBolt Software was engaged to provide a user-ready cloud management platform and self-service IT portal to address these challenges.

CloudBolt Software implemented a unified self-service platform with UI and APIs, integrated Puppet for configuration management, and enabled IT to offer tailored services to different lines of business while reducing dependence on single-vendor virtualization. The solution retired the costly HP CloudSystem Matrix deployment, delivered test environments immediately (cutting time to deployment by 50%), and was up and running in less than a day, improving productivity, compliance, and confidence in provisioning across the company.
