Case Study: Cox Automotive achieves faster IT delivery and major cost savings with Red Hat

Cox Automotive Drives On-Time Delivery of I.T. Resources with Red Hat

Cox Automotive, an Atlanta-based automotive technology leader with more than 30,000 employees, needed to speed delivery of IT resources across its many business units. Its internal teams were waiting up to three weeks for provisioning, slowing product development and making it harder to keep pace with customer demand.

To solve this, Cox Automotive implemented Red Hat CloudForms alongside Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Gluster Storage, and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization to create a self-service, infrastructure-as-a-service environment. With **Red Hat**, employees can now provision resources in 15 to 20 minutes, and the company reports nearly 10 years of saved waiting time plus almost $5 million in soft savings, while also improving speed, security, and customer satisfaction.
