Case Study: Zettagrid Pty Ltd achieves simplified provisioning, scalable growth and $300K annual savings with VMware vCloud Director

Zettagrid Simplifies Provisioning and Differentiates Services with Vmware Vcloud Director

Zettagrid, headquartered in Perth, operates 11 data centers across three availability zones and runs over 4,000 workloads, delivering self‑service private, public and hybrid cloud across Australia. The company faced the challenge of automating resource provisioning, matching data center resources to customer vSphere workloads, and providing predictable, flexible billing while differentiating its IaaS offering.

By adopting VMware vCloud Director and building a self‑service portal on its APIs, Zettagrid automated provisioning, enabled seamless workload migration, provided real‑time metrics and auto‑scaling, and reduced support dependency. The outcome was a scalable, differentiated service: one engineer now manages 600 VMs (a 300% efficiency gain), savings of more than $300,000 per 600 VMs annually, predictable customer billing and rapid growth without adding headcount.
