Case Study: IHS Markit achieves a secure, cost‑efficient private cloud with VMware Cloud Suite and NSX (VMware)

Enabling a Private Cloud Initiative with VMware Cloud Suite and NSX

IHS Markit, a global information and analysis provider serving 60,000 customers in 120 countries, shifted from a public-cloud focus to a private-cloud initiative as it expanded through acquisitions. The company needed to cut costs, tighten governance and security, and speed delivery across an increasingly complex IT environment.

To address this, IHS deployed the full VMware vCloud Suite with NSX—alongside vRealize Automation, vRealize Operations, vRealize Log Insight, VMware Cloud on AWS and VMware Professional Services—to automate and standardize its private cloud. The solution reduced costs, improved security and governance, accelerated service delivery, and strengthened collaboration with VMware to solve customers’ complex problems.
