Case Study: Major Manufacturer reduces deployment time from days to hours with IBM Cloud Brokerage Services

Reducing deployment times with secure, compliant and easily managed public cloud services

Major Manufacturer, a publicly held multinational with more than 100,000 employees, faced rising complexity from operating thousands of physical servers and slow, manual processes for provisioning server space that hindered application development, testing and production. To tackle this, the company engaged IBM and deployed IBM Cloud Brokerage Services to deliver faster, compliant computing environments.

IBM implemented a catalog of vetted, quickly deployable public cloud offerings preconfigured with boot scripts, security controls and management capabilities, plus cost-discovery and chargeback reporting. The IBM solution cut deployment time from days to hours, automated deployments with reusable templates, improved compliance and cloud management, and clarified workload costs for auditing and chargebacks.
