Case Study: Veritas Technologies completes disruption-free cloud migration of 10,000 VMs in under 50 days with Skytap Cloud

Veritas - Customer Case Study

Veritas, a leading data and information management provider used by the majority of the Fortune 500, needed to move all engineering, support, presales, and training compute resources out of co‑located datacenters after a 2016 divestiture. The tight two‑month timeframe required a disruption‑free migration of roughly 10,000 VMs and 1,500 templates (about 675 TB of data) while also reducing IT bottlenecks and improving customer support through faster, self‑service provisioning.

Skytap Cloud, partnering with IBM, delivered an exact replica of Veritas’ datacenter in the cloud and migrated enterprise applications without rewrites, enabling template‑driven, self‑service environments and onboarding 3,000 users. In under 50 days (with zero downtime) Veritas achieved full visibility and control over IT systems, dramatically reduced provisioning and issue resolution times, and increased IT agility and customer service.
