Case Study: Service-Flow achieves zero downtime and 400% faster deployments with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Helion Stackato

HPE Helion Stackato enables Service-Flow to meet customer needs and retain IT control

Service-Flow, a Finland-based SaaS provider of IT service-integration and SIAM tooling, faced the challenge of getting to market quickly while retaining control of infrastructure to meet strict availability, security and static-IP requirements. The company wanted to avoid managing its own servers and found public PaaS offerings didn’t provide the host access needed to satisfy customers’ firewall and testing needs, so it adopted Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s HPE Helion Stackato as its platform solution.

By running HPE Helion Stackato on AWS VPCs with separate production, test and development clusters and a microservices architecture, Service-Flow achieved zero-downtime deployments, 99.999% availability and 400% faster deployment cycles—delivering more than 60 customer-facing applications and enabling daily updates. Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s platform also provided static IPs, simplified management, easy migration and CI integration (CloudBees/Jenkins), letting Service-Flow focus on development and meet SLAs.
