Case Study: Cigniti Technologies achieves consolidated, single‑pane IT management and cost savings with Hitachi Vantara

Software Testing Company Cigniti Turns to Hitachi for Seamless, Single-Pane Management of Its IT Assets

Cigniti Technologies, the world’s third-largest independent software testing services firm headquartered in Dallas, faced rapid growth from multiple acquisitions that left it with a dispersed, hard-to-manage IT estate. Needing consolidation, virtualization and a single-pane management approach to improve provisioning, utilization, performance and reduce administrative overhead, Cigniti turned to Hitachi Vantara and its Hitachi Unified Compute Platform for VMware vSphere to deliver a converged infrastructure and centralized control.

Hitachi Vantara deployed UCP for VMware vSphere—including Hitachi Compute Blade 500, Hitachi Unified Storage 100 family, and VMware integration plug-ins—via its Global Solution Services team in under a week, providing dynamic provisioning, native LPAR support and a single management interface. The result was faster provisioning and testing, improved performance and availability, greater scalability, reduced administration time and data-center operational costs, and better customer service thanks to consolidated, optimized IT resources delivered by Hitachi Vantara.
