Solution

Run a Cloud System of Record

Use consistent patterns at enterprise scale with HashiCorp products. Gain visibility into cloud usage that accelerates audits and compliance workflows.

Your challenge

Enterprises have always trusted systems of record with their most important information: customer accounts, sales data, employee records, and much more.

As mission-critical systems and business data move to the cloud, it’s time for a “cloud system of record” — a secure place to store all the metadata for your modern infrastructure systems.

The cloud system of record streamlines compliance and audits while ensuring best practices are followed for infrastructure provisioning, security, networking, and application deployments.

Use HashiCorp tools to store and manage infrastructure state files, secrets, service location and health, as well as application dependencies, and build artifacts.

Reduce risk and improve compliance

Create, track, and secure essential metadata and artifacts. Use consistent patterns at enterprise scale. Control and optimize cloud spending.
