Case Study: Johnson Controls achieves global scalability and 50% cost savings with Redpanda

Johnson Controls cuts TCO by $1.6 million with Redpanda

Johnson Controls, a global leader in smart building technology, faced challenges with the reliability, operational overhead, and high costs of its previous event streaming platform. To power its OpenBlue ecosystem, the company sought a cost-effective solution that could scale globally and deliver real-time data with high uptime. They selected the Redpanda streaming data platform to address these issues.

By implementing a self-managed Redpanda solution on Azure, Johnson Controls simplified its architecture and reduced maintenance. The migration was completed in under ten weeks without customer disruption. The results included a 50% reduction in costs, a $1.6 million decrease in total cost of ownership, and 99.99% uptime, allowing Redpanda to effectively serve as the real-time data engine for their global operations.
