Case Study: Large Software and Services Company achieves 15-minute VM provisioning and sub-30-minute client onboarding with CloudBolt Software

Large Software and Services Company - Customer Case Study

Large Software and Services Company, a U.S.-based firm with ~2,000 employees and 7,000+ VMs running on VMware vCenter and AWS and using tools like Chef, vCloud Orchestrator, ServiceNow and InfoBlox, faced slow server provisioning, poor environment governance, shadow IT growth, and lack of cost visibility. Prior to CloudBolt Software, they relied on a complex, fragile integration of vCloud Orchestrator, Chef and ticketing that caused long turnarounds and unclear infrastructure costs.

CloudBolt Software implemented its hybrid-cloud platform, importing Chef recipes, exposing vCloud Orchestrator flows, and using orchestration hooks to integrate InfoBlox and ServiceNow, while enabling self-service provisioning, showback/chargeback, policies/quotas, license tracking and Continuous Infrastructure Testing. The result: VM provisioning dropped from 1 business day to 15 minutes, new hosted-client onboarding fell from 7 days to under 30 minutes, time-to-value was ~2.5 days, OPEX was reduced, all eight core use cases were met out of the box, and IT gained real-time cost and license visibility.
