Case Study: AUCloud achieves 30% capacity savings and 20% performance improvement with Virtana

AUCloud reports 30% capacity savings and 20% performance improvement from its IaaS deployment with Virtana

AUCloud, Australia’s sovereign IaaS provider focused on government and critical national industry, faced the challenge of delivering high‑performance, cost‑effective cloud services while avoiding expensive over‑provisioning and managing noisy‑neighbour performance in a shared VMware environment. To meet strict ASD PROTECTED/ISM requirements and ensure accurate capacity planning and workload balancing, AUCloud engaged Virtana and deployed Virtana’s VirtualWisdom monitoring and analytics platform.

Virtana’s VirtualWisdom was installed as a virtual appliance with Virtana Services support, providing out‑of‑the‑box right‑sizing recommendations, VM‑migration scripts, ML‑powered anomaly detection and end‑to‑end VM/SAN/storage visibility. As a result, AUCloud achieved measurable improvements — about 30% capacity savings and roughly 20% performance improvement — plus faster incident alerts, clearer capacity forecasting and continuous optimization across its clusters.
