Case Study: Atruvia achieves greater efficiency, resilience and sustainability with IBM Turbonomic

From data center operator to digitalization partner for banks

Atruvia, the central IT service provider for cooperative banks in Germany, needed to evolve from a traditional data center operator into a digitalization partner while meeting growing demands for availability, flexibility, speed, and sustainability. Its manual, reactive infrastructure optimization approach was fragmented and no longer fit the needs of a modern banking IT platform, so Atruvia turned to IBM and IBM Turbonomic.

IBM implemented IBM Turbonomic to automate and optimize resource management across Atruvia’s hybrid cloud environment with real-time visibility and AI-driven decisions. The result was a 20% reduction in physical servers and the decommissioning of over 1,000 servers within 18 months, lowering costs, energy use, and CO₂ emissions while improving resilience, performance, and agility.
