Worldline Selects VMware Network Virtualization and Cloud Management Platforms to Accelerate Innovation and Time to Market
13 February 2018 - 8:00PM
VMware, Inc. (NYSE:VMW), a global leader in cloud infrastructure
and business mobility, today announced that Worldline, a European
leader in the payments and transactional services industry, is
deploying VMware network virtualization and cloud management
platforms to accelerate time to market for new services, support
international expansion, and support security and compliance
requirements. Deployed as part of a software-defined data centre
architecture, VMware NSX™ and VMware vRealize® Suite give Worldline
consistent cloud infrastructure and operations to improve agility,
enabling IT to better support the fast-moving business.
With a reputation for launching industry-leading payment
solutions across the 29 countries in which it operates, Worldline
said it constantly seeks ways to accelerate innovation. The company
said it is pursuing high levels of IT agility and a DevOps approach
to speed up application development lifecycles and respond faster
to customer demands. By automating labour-intensive, error-prone
tasks, VMware solutions have cut workload set-up by up to 75
percent as well as reducing the time needed to provision network
services from days to just minutes, according to Worldline.
This can have a significant commercial impact, enabling Worldline
to develop, test and deploy new applications much faster and bring
them to market quicker.
“With VMware NSX and vRealize Suite, our IT is much more agile
and can focus on higher value activities. When combined with our
expertise in creating services that provide business value for our
customers, it translates into accelerated time to market for new
services and international business growth,” said
Frédéric Papillon, Managing Director of Production Services,
Worldline.
Worldline delivers some of its services via its
Infrastructure-as-a-Service platform, and the company expects
demand for its cloud-based services to grow. As customers require
different levels of management control in the provisioning of these
customized services, Worldline has to handle time-consuming network
configuration and set-up to maintain this high level of flexibility
for customers.
Thanks to the cloud and network automation capabilities of
VMware NSX and vRealize Suite, Worldline said its customers can now
choose between a series of unified service blueprints. Already
preconfigured with the necessary policies, the company said these
services can be instantly provisioned in minutes rather than days.
This significantly cuts required IT resources from Worldline, while
its customers benefit from improved service quality and reduced
time to market.
The increased standardization of systems and processes
underpinning its payment services has improved Worldline’s ability
to replicate similar services in other regions. Its international
expansion is partly driven through mergers and acquisitions,
according to the company, and using VMware solutions as a common
platform helps with the integration of IT infrastructures.
Worldline is using VMware vRealize Suite for cloud management
and operations. vRealize Operations provides Worldline with better
insight into its IT infrastructure, enabling it to predict capacity
requirements and smooth peak traffic management. With vRealize
Automation™, the company is eliminating manual tasks and improving
IT efficiency. The company said it has implemented a multi-site
active-active solution for disaster avoidance with VMware NSX, and
this will help Worldline maintain robust security levels and meet
the compliance requirements of regulations, such as Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
