Case Study: AstraZeneca achieves 177x faster provisioning and $6M+ savings with Morpheus Data

Discovering new levels of agility with hybrid-cloud self-service and DevOps automation.

AstraZeneca’s Global Infrastructure Services team, supporting a hybrid environment of 16,000+ servers and 2,700 applications across on‑premises and public clouds, faced severe provisioning bottlenecks: manual handoffs meant developer requests averaged 80 man‑hours to deliver. To accelerate delivery and reduce operational friction, AstraZeneca evaluated orchestration vendors and selected Morpheus Data’s multi‑cloud management platform.

Morpheus Data enabled push‑button provisioning and end‑to‑end orchestration (integrating VMware, AWS/Azure/GCP, ServiceNow, SaltStack and more), rolling out across 8 data centers and thousands of apps in under 90 days. The result: deployments moved from ~80 hours to under 20–27 minutes (30 servers in 27 minutes), a 177x improvement in end‑to‑end times, reduced shadow IT, and substantial cost savings — initial labor savings of $2.4M and over $6M in provisioning savings within three years.
