Environment:

•  ESXi based virtualized compute infrastructure

•  Inflexible legacy network and application delivery infrastructure

Challenges:

•  Complexity: VLANs, hardware appliances, manual configuration

•  Cost: Frequent hardware refresh, high support and operational costs

•  Scalability: Needed a flexible, elastic solution with self-service automation

Case Study: Private Cloud in Financial Services Increasing Infrastructure Flexibility and Reducing Operational Cost
