Case Study: IHS Markit achieves a global hybrid cloud and accelerated time-to-market with VMware Cloud on AWS (VMware)

IHS Markit deploys Global Hybrid Cloud

IHS Markit, a London‑headquartered data and analytics leader, faced the need to expand globally and meet stricter data control and localization requirements after rapid growth and an acquisition. The company needed scalable public‑cloud reach without investing in new data centers, while extending on‑prem automation and security to support faster time‑to‑market for services.

IHS Markit deployed VMware Cloud on AWS (with NSX‑T and vCloud Suite) as a global hybrid cloud foundation, migrating 1,000 workloads in six weeks. The move eliminated migration technical debt without refactoring, enabled same‑day self‑service provisioning for developers, created a consistent operating model, supported rapid growth without new datacenter builds, and reduced costs while complying with country‑specific regulations.
