HudsonAlpha was facing a myriad of challenges, from scaling woes to security worries: » Needed to accommodate thousands of diverse research- centric web applications across 38 facilities » Wanted portability of applications across a hybrid cloud operating environment that was based on HPE Synergy and Google Cloud » Required compliance with security mandates for security identity and applications » Wanted to bring ballooning hypervisor licensing costs under control » Wanted to remove dependency challenges being experi- enced by developers when building applications HudsonAlpha turned to HPE and Docker for a solution and chose to deploy the Docker Enterprise Edition container platform run- ning on HPE Synergy hardware. The benefits were immediate: » Portability: HudsonAlpha is able to migrate workloads across its hardware and cloud environments. » Security: HudsonAlpha can far more easily comply with security mandates. » Cost savings: The organization now delivers new service far more quickly at a lower cost. » Standardization: HudsonAlpha now has a standard platform for all apps and across hybrid infrastructure, eradicating all dependency issues.
