Case Study: Imperial College London achieves comprehensive infrastructure visibility and streamlined cloud migration with Device42

Imperial College London - Customer Case Study

Imperial College London’s ICT department supports a complex hybrid environment — on‑site data centers, colocation, private and public clouds, and many SaaS and research VMs — and needed better visibility to plan cloud migrations, manage assets, and reduce shadow IT. The team identified a visibility gap around application dependencies, inventory, monitoring and chargeback as the key challenge for smooth, secure migrations and ongoing operations.

A quick trial of Device42 delivered Application Dependency Mapping, automated discovery, a customizable CMDB, asset and power management, and integration with Splunk. This enabled targeted component-level migrations, clear VM recharge/chargeback reporting, faster insurance audits, automated security alerts for EOL systems, and improved sustainability planning — resulting in smoother cloud moves, stronger cost and security visibility, and measurable time savings.
