Case Study: Jabil achieves rapid datacenter scalability and faster server delivery with Microsoft Corporation

Global manufacturer supports growth with private cloud on hyper-converged platform

Jabil, a global manufacturing services company with 150,000 employees, needed to keep up with rapid business growth and a sprawling datacenter footprint while improving scalability and efficiency. To address this, Jabil worked with **Microsoft Corporation** and used a Microsoft private cloud stack with Windows Server 2012 R2, Hyper-V, Microsoft System Center 2012 R2, and Windows Azure Pack, alongside Nutanix infrastructure validated through Microsoft Private Cloud Fast Track.

**Microsoft Corporation** helped Jabil deploy a hyper-converged private cloud that can be scaled quickly and managed more efficiently. The results included the ability to deliver servers in days instead of months, deploy Nutanix environments in about 30 minutes, and set up multiple Hyper-V host environments in about an hour; the solution is projected to cut datacenter assets by hundreds of rack units, reduce physical hosts by more than 25 percent, and save about $500,000, or 40% of infrastructure-related capital expenses.
