A VMware Case Study
Custom Window Systems (CWS), an Ocala, Florida manufacturer of vinyl and aluminum windows and doors founded in 1986, needed to speed application development and deployment, reduce infrastructure CapEx, add IT resources, implement disaster recovery, and enable user self‑provisioning to make testing and modernization more efficient and cost effective.
CWS adopted VMware vCloud Air to run development and testing, migrate packaged applications, provide disaster recovery, and build cloud‑native and mobile solutions (integrated with Microsoft). They selected vCloud Air for seamless networking/interoperability, lower TCO, and reuse of existing vSphere investments, resulting in faster time‑to‑market, CapEx‑to‑OpEx cost reduction, on‑demand scalability, improved reliability, and empowered self‑service provisioning.
