PaaS Boosts Developer Productivity, Infrastructure Utilization at Chase Bank

PaaS has taken another step towards establishing itself in the enterprise sector, where complex system deployments are often difficult to outsource.  But recent improvements in PaaS technology has earned a big win with one of the finance industry’s biggest forces.

Apprenda recently released a case study that outlines how over the course of two years, JPMorgan Chase migrated 430 development teams and 2,000 applications to four data centers powered by its platform-as-a-service implementation. The deployment is the single largest private PaaS environment in the world.

“JPMorgan Chase needed an enterprise grade private cloud solution to accelerate our time to market for applications, improve our infrastructure efficiency and increase our developer productivity,” said JPMorgan Chase Chief Information Officer Guy Chiarello. “We are pleased with our selection of Apprenda’s product suite and look forward to realizing benefits across our global portfolio.”

Leverhawk’s Scott Bils writes that there are quite a few benefits to be found for the development teams that are using their organization’s new PaaS. He notes that JPMorgan Chase achieved an estimated 700 percent increase in developer productivity, and a 50 day reduction in time-to-market for new apps. In addition, he notes that the financial services powerhouse cited a 30 percent increase in infrastructure utilization and a subsequent 45 percent reduction in associated costs.

The efficiently gain is just one side of the story. It’s also notable that the 430 teams that are leveraging the PaaS did so voluntarily, and that  none of the 2,000 apps that were migrated are hosted in the public cloud.

Service providers operate their infrastructure far more efficiently than any organization that doesn’t list IT as a primary source of revenue, even if that organization happens to be one of the largest investment bankers in the world. The private PaaS environment that Appreda operates for JPMorgan is a successful attempt to apply a service-oriented methodology to an on-premise deployment.
