Case Study: a leading payment services provider secures virtualization and cuts costs with HyTrust

HyTrust helps meet virtualization, compliance, and securty challenges

A leading U.S. payment services provider was facing significant security and compliance challenges while pursuing an aggressive goal to virtualize 90% of its data center. The company, which processes billions of transactions, needed to securely manage a private cloud with six segregated tenant environments and adhere to stringent PCI DSS regulations. They turned to vendor HyTrust and implemented the HyTrust Appliance to gain the necessary control over its virtual infrastructure.

The HyTrust Appliance provided the solution by enforcing granular access controls and policies, ensuring strict separation between tenants, and generating detailed audit logs. This allowed the company to confidently virtualize even its mission-critical payment systems. The results included the timely achievement of their virtualization goals, more efficient and accurate audits, and estimated savings of a third on hardware costs by consolidating test, development, and production onto a single unified environment.
