Case Study: PhoenixNAP grows enterprise cloud services, saves $1.35M and speeds provisioning with VMware vCloud Director

Phoenixnap Uses Vmware Vcloud Director Solution To Grow Its Enterprise Cloud Services Business

PhoenixNAP, a global IaaS and colocation provider, needed to launch a premium managed enterprise cloud with stronger self-service, automation and security capabilities—but wanted to avoid 12–18 months of custom development and meet growing customer demands quickly to protect market share.

The company deployed VMware vCloud Director, integrating it via APIs to power both multitenant and managed private cloud offerings. The solution saved about $1.35M versus building in-house (and roughly $250K/year in maintenance), sped client provisioning by 20%, cut support needs by 30%, freed engineers to enhance other products, and enabled new premium services and tighter NSX-driven networking and security integration.
