Cisco is a leading provider of networking solutions that transform how people connect, commu-
nicate, and collaborate. A US $47 billion global company, Cisco develops intelligent networks and
technology architectures for customers in industries ranging from government and military to
healthcare and transportation.
To help keep pace with rapidly changing customer demand, Cisco built its internal Lightweight
Application Environment on OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat®. With this solution, Cisco IT deliv-
ers application middleware quickly and easily to internal developers through a self-service
portal. Cisco has decreased time to market for new applications, streamlined the infrastructure
using containers, increased operational efficiencies, and improved the developer experience.

CHALLENGE: SUPPORTING ‘FAST I.T.’
Supporting business technology is an ever-changing challenge — and it’s changing faster and faster.
Once a business need is identified, companies expect solution providers to deliver innovative IT
products and services without delay to gain or maintain advantage over their competitors. For
leading solution providers such as Cisco, the ability to anticipate and quickly meet customer
demand is paramount.
Taking months to roll out new software or products is no longer an option. To accelerate develop-
ment and support a new model for IT that the company refers to as “Fast IT,” Cisco switched from
a traditional waterfall software development life cycle to a more agile DevOps approach that
emphasizes ongoing communication and collaboration among developers, IT staff, and business
stakeholders alike.
Cisco needed to change the way it supported internal developers. Previously, when developers
wanted to create new applications, they had to request technology infrastructure and services from
an internal middleware architecture group. This group maintains nearly 3,000 applications that
automate or support critical business processes throughout the enterprise.
After meeting with developers to assess requirements for a project, the IT architecture team would
build a project plan and provision infrastructure for the developers a process that might take several
months. What’s more, any time the IT group developed a new middleware service, it took six months
to roll it out to the entire enterprise.
“Our group needed the ability to deploy applications quickly at low cost so our developers could get
back to delivering applications,” said Michael White, IT architect at Cisco.
