Case Study: Monash University achieves months-to-minutes provisioning and AWS cost & security optimization with CloudBolt Software (CSMP)

Monash University Optimizes AWS Spend with CloudBolt Cost & Security Management Platform

Monash University, Australia’s largest university, faced a need to scale and standardize AWS cloud management across large corporate and academic environments while addressing gaps in user self-service, cloud skills, Infrastructure-as-Code delivery, NetApp automation, governance, and provisioning speed. To meet this challenge it selected CloudBolt Software’s Cost & Security Management Platform (CloudBolt CSMP) to provide a cloud-only strategy with drag-and-drop, full-stack AWS provisioning, governance, and automation.

CloudBolt Software implemented CloudBolt CSMP across Monash’s AWS estate, integrating with NetApp ONTAP Cloud and BMC Remedy to enable self-service catalogs, visual orchestration, and automated compliance. The solution cut provisioning times from months to minutes, eliminated support incidents, reduced training effort, lowered storage costs by 25%, and delivered automated backup compliance and governed template/version control—direct, measurable gains attributed to CloudBolt Software.
