Case Study: CenturyLink achieves faster cloud innovation and streamlined app delivery with Pivotal Cloud Foundry (Pivotal)

Creating a Powerful Platform for Cloud Innovation with Pivotal Cloud Foundry

CenturyLink, a global communications, hosting and cloud services provider with 60+ data centers and 50,000 employees, needed to rapidly evolve its managed services, cloud and colocation offerings to meet enterprise demand for cloud‑native architectures while still leveraging legacy systems. The company faced complex, manual development and deployment processes and wanted to keep developer time focused on innovation, automation and scalable, interoperable services.

CenturyLink integrated Pivotal Cloud Foundry with CenturyLink Cloud to deliver a hosted, dedicated cloud‑native platform that automates infrastructure, middleware and backing services. The solution streamlined development and deployment, enabled self‑service connectivity for customers, accelerated internal application modernization (big data and IoT use cases) and increased organizational agility—reducing time‑to‑market and freeing engineers to focus on new products and services.
