How Vodafone helped PruHealth

For PruHealth, we defined the roadmap
to migrate the test and development
environments to a Private Cloud
environment for production, specifically
to meet their strategic demands. This
included a resilient, highly available
reference architecture, deployed across
two data centres and built in months.

With our fully managed IaaS capabilities,

PruHealth can take advantage of a
robust Private Cloud environment
combined with a resilient, high
performing and secure next-generation
network, both assured with stringent
Service Level Agreements (SLAs). As
we will look after the IT infrastructure,
PruHealth can focus on its core business.
