Case Study: ONI PLC reduces downtime and boosts security with Runecast Analyzer

ONI Reduces Downtime Time and Increases Security

ONI PLC is a UK data center service provider that runs cloud services from its own Tier 3+ data center and supports public sector and commercial customers. As its cloud environment grew to 5 vCenters and 50+ hosts, the IT team found it increasingly difficult to identify issues and determine what they applied to, while still maintaining the uptime and performance expected from a service provider.

ONI PLC selected Runecast Analyzer after seeing it at VMworld Barcelona, and the tool was fully deployed and configured within one hour. Runecast found more than 100 issues, including PSOD risks, open ports, non-redundant NIC configurations, and network driver issues, which the team quickly fixed; ONI then reduced its typical 2 issues per month to 0, reported 70-80% man-hours time savings, and improved security compliance.
