Industry: Global, Transportation
As a key operator at major hubs such as Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Don Mueang International Airport, a Thai air cargo logistics company runs critical 24×7 operations including air freight warehousing, ground handling, and logistics distribution systems, all with extremely high requirements for business continuity. Facing rising VMware licensing costs, difficulties in reusing legacy hardware, and the stringent requirement of zero business disruption during system migration, the company urgently needed a virtualization platform that could ensure seamless operations while optimizing long-term costs.
The enterprise ultimately chose ZStack ZSphere to complete its VMware-to-ZStack migration. With an operational experience consistent with VMware vSphere and native SAN storage integration capabilities, ZStack ZSphere seamlessly integrated existing servers and with storage networks. Leveraging a proven V2V live migration tool, it successfully migrated critical systems without business interruption. Through its unified management interface and transparent licensing model, the platform greatly simplified operations management while keeping costs under control.
