AstraZeneca Hybrid-Cloud Automation Case Study

This case study details AstraZeneca's implementation of hybrid-cloud self-service and DevOps automation through the Morpheus platform. AstraZeneca, a global bio-pharmaceutical company, faced significant challenges in resource provisioning, with developer requests taking an average of 80 man-hours due to manual processes. The Global Infrastructure Services (GIS) division recognized the need for automation to enhance agility and reduce operational costs. The deployment of Morpheus enabled push-button provisioning, drastically reducing server provisioning time from 80 hours to 27 minutes for 30 servers. The case study outlines the technologies involved, including integrations with VMware, AWS, Azure, and ServiceNow, and highlights the substantial financial benefits realized, including over $6 million in provisioning savings. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of collaboration with orchestration vendors to address challenges effectively. The results demonstrate significant improvements in deployment speed, workforce productivity, and compliance with regulatory standards, showcasing the transformative impact of automation in AstraZeneca's IT operations.
