Case Study: SIMNET enhances private cloud experience with Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure

SIMNET chooses Virtuozzo to upgrade its private cloud and enhance the end user experience

SIMNET, a Canadian provider of cloud computing services and solutions, faced challenges with its VMware-based private cloud due to uncertainties following the Broadcom acquisition, rising costs, and a lack of self-service capabilities for its clients. The company needed a future-proof, cost-effective platform to mitigate risk, improve transparency, and expand its service offerings. This led them to partner with Virtuozzo and migrate to their hyperconverged Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform, Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure.

Virtuozzo provided an easy migration path from VMware and delivered a flexible, self-service private cloud that was 70% less expensive than equivalent VMware licenses. The solution gave SIMNET the ability to easily scale resources and offer new services, from IaaS to PaaS. Furthermore, Virtuozzo’s partnership extended beyond technology to include sales and marketing accelerator services, which became a critical part of SIMNET's growth strategy. The results included enhanced performance transparency for clients, a more malleable service portfolio, and a solid foundation for future expansion.
