CA Technologies, a software company servicing the majority of the Global Fortune 500, wanted to help its internal development teams get its world-class apps to market faster. By using OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat, CA Technologies was able to provide a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for its internal teams to more quickly build and deploy Software-as-a Service (SaaS) applications for its external customers. Development times dropped from months to weeks in most cases. In addition, the new system offers maximum scalability by automatically spinning up or spinning down servers based on user load.
