Case Study: Fastweb achieves greater cloud flexibility and competitive advantage with Red Hat

Fastweb Gains Cloud Flexibility Competitive Advantage with Red Hat

FastWeb, a leading Italian telecommunications provider, needed to improve automation, self-service, and flexibility in its cloud-based ICT services as customer demand grew. Its previous proprietary platform limited agility and made it harder to meet dynamic customer needs, so FastWeb turned to Red Hat and Red Hat OpenStack Platform for an open source alternative.

Red Hat implemented Red Hat OpenStack Platform with Red Hat Consulting support, enabling automated network creation, self-service cloud functions, and easier integration with legacy systems. The results included faster time to market, reduced support costs, stronger SLAs across the technology stack, and a 60% increase in adoption; FastWeb also gained new enterprise customers and strengthened its competitive position in Italy.
