Case Study: ZF Friedrichshafen AG achieves faster test environment provisioning with SUSE OpenStack Cloud from Suse

ZF Friedrichshafen AG - Customer Case Study

ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a global automotive supplier, needed a faster, more flexible way to support developers building and testing advanced products such as autonomous driving systems. Working with Suse and its SUSE OpenStack Cloud platform, the company sought to replace slow, rigid infrastructure with an open-source cloud environment that could speed up CAE and development workflows.

Suse implemented SUSE OpenStack Cloud along with SUSE Enterprise Storage to automate provisioning, enable developer self-service, and support dynamic resource allocation for engineering simulations. The result was a dramatic improvement: new test environments now take minutes instead of days, IT routine work has been reduced, and ZF can scale computing resources more efficiently while lowering hardware pressure and improving overall agility.
