Case Study: Dell Technologies achieves faster software delivery and streamlined operations with VMware Tanzu Application Service

Dell’s Digital Transformation at SpringOne Platform

Dell Technologies’ Dell EMC division, headquartered in Round Rock, Texas, faced slow innovation and heavy operational overhead from a homegrown enterprise PaaS. The internal platform required significant manual provisioning and debugging, limited architecture support, and left operations teams spending much of their time maintaining infrastructure while developers still needed help to push releases—sometimes taking up to six months to reach production.

Dell EMC adopted VMware Tanzu Application Service with Tanzu Operations Manager and stood up a production-ready environment in four months. The platform automated provisioning, scaling, telemetry and deployments, gave developers a self-service environment and buildpacks, and freed operators to focus on higher-value work. As a result, teams like CloudIQ now deliver new capabilities twice weekly, push changes to production in minutes to hours, and benefit from improved monitoring and reduced friction between developers and operations.
