The Move to the Cloud – Tangible Benefits

Following a 90-day migration process, Domino deployed their entire IT infrastructure on xStream, Virtustream’s consumption-based cloud platform capable of handling complex production applications. The project included a multi-thousand seat SAP enterprise application system.

As a result, SAP systems now operate up to twice as fast on xStream and are highly available and secure. The xStream platform leverages an Intel Xeon processor 5680, which delivers a twofold performance increase over non-virtualized, older generation Intel processor - based servers.

Domino projects up to a 40 percent reduction in total cost of ownership over three years, while also increasing availability and shrinking disaster recovery times. The cost savings enable business growth and the flexibility they gain from running applications on the cloud enables their team to focus on delivering business value rather than managing hardware.

The most significant cost savings are associated with eliminating the need to purchase hardware for a specific amount of time. Virtustream’s utility-based deployment and pricing gave Domino the flexibility to rapidly add resources as needed. This allows for a more efficient utilization of resources and a true consumption based pricing model. Managed services will also be purchased based on aggregate workload per month rather than by infrastructure provisioned, delivering further efficiency to the bottom line.
