Industry: Global, Government
A certain government department in Malaysia, aiming to advance digital transformation, urgently needs to build a secure, controllable, and cost‑efficient IT infrastructure. However, its existing VMware virtualization platform is facing budget pressures due to continuously rising subscription fees, while outdated SAN storage systems struggle with compatibility issues that lead to resource wastage. In addition, the complexity of operating and maintaining multiple platforms in parallel and the dependence on specific vendors present a series of further challenges.
The department adopted ZStack ZSphere to implement VMware-to-ZStack migration. By leveraging a permanent licensing model, it effectively eased long-term budgetary pressures. With native SAN storage integration capabilities, the platform seamlessly connected and revitalized existing storage assets. Through a unified management portal, the department achieved centralized operations and efficient control of virtualization resources, significantly simplifying administration processes.
