Background
A leading data center in Europe was struggling to manage multiple orchestrators including Apache CloudStack, VMware, and OpenStack. Each required separate expertise, separate portals, and created operational inefficiencies that slowed down provisioning and limited scalability.
Challenge
-
Multiple orchestration platforms created complexity in daily operations.
-
Customers demanded faster VM provisioning and self-service options.
-
The existing system lacked centralized billing and monitoring.
-
Scaling operations meant hiring more skilled staff, which increased costs.
Solution: Stack Console’s Unified Cloud Management
The data center deployed Stack Console as a unified, white-labeled management portal.
Key capabilities delivered:
-
Seamless Integration: Apache CloudStack, VMware, and OpenStack were consolidated into a single platform.
-
Advanced VM Management: Self-service VM creation, scaling, and monitoring with multi-network support.
-
Centralized Billing: Automated billing for all orchestrators, supporting prepaid and postpaid models.
-
StackAI Support: End customers could create and manage VMs via natural language commands.
Results Achieved
-
Provisioning Time Reduced by 70% – from hours to minutes.
-
Operational Costs Down by 40% – less dependency on specialized staff.
-
Improved Customer Experience – self-service portal and faster delivery.
-
Unified Billing – streamlined revenue recognition across orchestrators.
Key Takeaway
By implementing Stack Console, the European data center transformed complex, multi-orchestrator environments into a single, efficient, and scalable cloud business model—unlocking new growth opportunities while reducing costs.
