Shintao Natural Gas implements VMware Cloud Foundation to improve operational efficiency and service quality
Shintao Natural Gas is the primary natural gas provider for the city of Taoyuan in Taiwan, serving as many as 430,000 households.
Shintao Natural Gas required enhanced IT services to address issues such as wasted electricity, limited workspaces, and complicated data exchange and software updates, caused by segregated operational processes between external and internal networks due to security concerns. Also, to support the its diversified operations, the company needed an infrastructure that promotes sustainability
Shintao Natural Gas adopted VMware Cloud Foundation to create their Private Cloud environment. With VCF, they created a war room dashboard for comprehensive IT resource monitoring of their physical as well as virtual IT environments and system services.
“Increased operational efficiency and service quality from cloud adoption and digital transformation will expand Shintao’s future operational scope and prepare us for the modernization to come for the next fifty years.” Chien Shih-Shan, general manager & managing director, Shintao Natural Gas
Because of several key reasons such as integrated compute, storage, network and management solution, a ubiquitous private cloud platform for both traditional enterprise applications and modern applications and an option for hybrid cloud adoption according to business expansion requirements, Shintao Natural Gas chose VCF as their Private Cloud Infrastructure.
After deploying VMware Cloud Foundation, Shintao Natural Gas reduced IT personnel maintenance hours by over 2.5 times, reduced their investment in hardware, achieved 99.99% availability and increased their resource availability by 65%.

GCI Communications Corp. Leverages VMware Cloud Foundation While Connecting Alaska
GCI Communications is Alaska’s largest telecommunications provider headquartered in Anchorage serving Alaska for more than 40 years. GCI employs nearly 2,000 Alaskans and has invested more than $4 billion in its Alaska network and facilities.
GCI Communications’s main challenge was that they needed to deploy and maintain an infrastructure in remote locations in Alaska to provide their services to their customers in those regions.
GCI Communications used VMware Cloud Foundation as their private cloud infrastructure platform and used VCF Automation for deployment and automation of their infrastructure and VCF Operations for monitoring of their infrastructure.
After the adoption of VMware Cloud Foundation, GCI Communications was able to upgrade their infrastructure faster with up to date security patches. Also, they were able to deploy applications faster and more efficiently within a few weeks and days instead of months. By leveraging the Tanzu Application Platform, GCI Communications is able to significantly enhance the developer experience. With VCF alleviating their operational burdens, GCI Communications can now concentrate more on their app developers, enabling them to deliver new functionalities to customers at a faster pace.
Watch this video and VMware Explore 2024 on-demand session to hear directly from Roger Joys, Vice President, GCI Communications and Jeremy Mayfield, Sr. Solution Architect, GCI Communications about their experience of using VMware Cloud Foundation.
