Future-Proofing Ituran’s Global Infrastructure

Background

Ituran provides vehicle tracking and fleet management solutions to millions of users worldwide. The company processes real-time location data, security alerts, and critical services across multiple continents. Its environment was built on VMware vSphere 8 with a single vCenter managing workloads. While stable, this architecture began to limit scalability, visibility, and operational efficiency as the business expanded.
To support continued growth, Ituran partnered with TeraSky to implement VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), establishing a unified, software-defined platform designed for scale, automation, and future innovation.

Challenge

Ituran’s traditional infrastructure posed several operational challenges. Fragmented management tools created silos, making it difficult to maintain consistent operations as workloads increased. A single vCenter architecture limited visibility into system performance. Critical SQL databases remained on bare metal servers, without access to modern storage capabilities. Manual lifecycle and maintenance processes consumed IT resources daily. And security controls required multiple layers of hardware and configuration, increasing complexity.
The organization needed a unified platform that could deliver centralized control, built-in security, automation, and a clear path to Kubernetes without disrupting ongoing services.

Solution

TeraSky implemented VMware Cloud Foundation to unify compute, storage, networking, operations, and security into a single platform with centralized control.
The deployment began with a VCF management domain and vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA), followed by a phased workload migration with zero disruption. VCF Operations and Operations for Logs provided full visibility across the environment, while NSX introduced built-in micro-segmentation for software-defined security.
“Migrating from traditional infrastructure to VCF while maintaining continuous operations required a structured, phased approach,” says Nikolai Konovalov, Infrastructure Consultant Architect from TeraSky. “By combining vSAN ESA for immediate performance gains with a unified control plane and embedded security, we delivered both short-term impact and a foundation for long-term scalability.”

Bottom Line

Early results from the VCF deployment are already exceeding expectations. SQL workloads now run faster on vSAN ESA, operational visibility and control have improved significantly, and automated lifecycle management has reduced the burden of ongoing maintenance. At the same time, software-defined security has simplified protection while increasing flexibility.
“TeraSky walked us through every evaluation step to show exactly how VCF would improve our operations,” says Shlomi Ishai, Infrastructure & Security Manager. “Their hands-on approach during pre-sales and seamless deployment execution set us up perfectly for growth.”
With VCF in place, Ituran can easily pursue automation, adopt Kubernetes, and scale efficiently. This ensures they can support their global expansion while maintaining the reliability their customers expect.
