Neustar
» The Situation
Neustar is a 1,500-employee, NYSE-traded provider of real-time information and analysis.
With over 10,000 VMs running across the organization, they relied heavily on AWS to meet
the service delivery demands of their customers. This resulted in a hefty AWS bill and an
expensive datacenter being underutilized. Neustar needed a solution that would better
leverage the existing capital investment and deliver services to their customers in a timely
and simple manner. Specifically, an "AWS-like" experience combined with the necessary
visibility and control of costs and assets.
» The Solution
Neustar relied on AWS as the service broker. By migrating to CloudBolt, their Core Services
team became equipped with the resources to be the "broker" of IT resources; regardless
if the resources are in VMware or AWS. The ordering form for any VM has become
standardized and run through IT, service delivery speed was met, and Core Services has a
holistic view into who owns it, where it is deployed, when it expires, and how much it costs.
CloudBolt enables Neustar to leverage the benefits of both public and private cloud
seamlessly, minimizing external spend when internal resources can fill the need. Its users in
turn get the VM resources they need, faster, via one-click ordering from an
easy-to-use interface.
