When building anything substantial, such as a house or bridge, you start by laying down a solid foundation. Nothing changes this aspect of building brick by brick when you move from traditional constructions to application development and architecting your supporting infrastructure. Throw in Cloud terminology and you might think that the principles of a solid foundation are a bit flighty, but nothing is further from the truth. One problem that arise over time is that your infrastructure architecture grows into a complex entity that provides unending challenges to your development and operations teams, trying to deliver on applications and promises made to your customers.

and bottlenecks by leveraging automation.
Delivery of new application environments
which used to take weeks, now takes a
few hours.

We have eliminated manual processes
and bottlenecks by leveraging automation.
Delivery of new application environments
which used to take weeks, now takes a
few hours.
We used to require around 60 days from a physical
server request to the actual installation.
With Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and support
through Red Hat CloudForms, provisioning now is
almost 95% faster than it used to be.
