Challenge

A financial services organisation experienced rapid growth in its x86 environment, leading to operational challenges. Managing firmware levels, hypervisors, and Linux OS patch cycles became increasingly complex, creating risks around performance, security, and compliance.

Transcend modernised the environment by introducing:

 - VMware as the standardised hypervisor platform

 - Red Hat Satellite for centralised Linux server management

 - Automated provisioning, configuration, and patching processes

This replaced fragmented tooling with a centralised, automated operations model.

 - Significant improvement in business application performance

 - Streamlined infrastructure management and operations

 - Reduced operational cost and complexity

 - Timely application of OS patches and firmware updates, including rapid response to CVEs
