Case Study: ProSiebenSat.1 Media achieves faster time-to-market, 60% hosting cost savings and improved security with Mirantis OpenStack-AWS hybrid cloud

ProSiebenSat.1 Selects Mirantis to Design and Validate a Centralized OpenStack Platform for Cross-Business Agility and Workloads

ProSiebenSat.1 Group, a Munich-based media giant with about 6,000 employees and a reach of 42 million households, struggled with fragmented IT across 20+ business units: slow server provisioning (days), inconsistent development practices, and data-protection concerns when using public cloud providers. The global IT team wanted a unified, secure platform to speed time-to-market, improve DevOps, and lower costs.

They partnered with Mirantis to validate and deploy a centralized OpenStack private cloud integrated with AWS (Direct Connect) and automated with Fuel and Salt. The hybrid solution cut provisioning from days to minutes, delivered a 60% reduction in hosting costs for the first migrated unit within two months, improved operational efficiency and security, and now runs hundreds of VMs and 15 e‑commerce platforms under a small, automated ops team.
