"We also saw that by using VMware we would be able to introduce new services much more quickly and a lot more cheaply than we normally would." "HP turned their proposal into a reality very easily and the result has made it much easier for SAGE to keep up with rapid growth and change."
- Steve Leggetter, IS Director, Sage UK
A leading business management software publisher in UK, Sage needed to ensure their estate of 200 servers is able to operate efficiently and meet the demands of the expanding company.
HP ProLiant Servers and VMware virtualisation solutions were implemented on their servers for partitioning, consolidating and improvement of applications and services management. As a result, the improvements in their IT infrastructure have enabled the company to become more adaptive to their dynamic environment.
"We chose HP on the merit of the solution they proposed as well as the quality of the equipment." "The advantage of VMware is that it has allowed us to optimise the efficient use of the resources we have with the ability to add computing capacity to meet demand without increasing our costs."
- Enzo Zecca, Division Vice President for Infrastructure Services, Maritz
With more than 150 servers and direct attached storage, Maritz Inc’s IT systems were becoming too costly and inefficient to support their integrated performance improvement, travel and market research business. Deploying HP’s ProLiant Servers together with VMware virtual applications gave the enterprise the flexibility to consolidate physical hardware and standardise its technology with fewer platforms. Hence, enabling the company to achieve cost savings by 10 percent year on year through greater resource utilisation.
"Using VMware virtualisation software on HP ProLiant DL580 servers, we are able to dynamically allocate resources without interrupting users." "When we launch new systems we won’t need to scale out servers with additional storage capacity."
- Neville Lee, Infrastructure Engineer, Englewood Hp
Englewood is a community hospital that provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art patient services in New Jersey. Englewood needed to implement new business systems and consolidate several databases to manage data security rules, medical regulatory compliance, as well as to streamline their IT administration process. HP’s combined solutions with VMware ESX Server application was introduced to enable virtual partitioning on their server layer, so that multiple applications can access processing power, promote resource sharing, and increase the organisation’s overall productivity.
"In our Vancouver data center we have more than 100 servers. To replicate that in Toronto would have been very expensive, so we’re using HP blade technologies and VMware virtualisation software to replicate the services on the other hand." "By virtualising certain environments on a single platform, we’re able to use our hardwar to its full capacity."
- Mario Angers, Information Technology Manager, Teligence Communications
In the business of providing telecommunications network services for chatting and connecting people, Teligence Communications understood that establishing a high level of network uptime was a main priority while keeping expenditure low. HP’s Blade servers were deployed to safeguard business operations from natural disaster, while VMware virtualisation was installed in their data center in Vancouver to provide the same telecommunication services for their Toronto operations. Without having to physically replicate its services from one state to another, the company was able to maximize full resource utilisation and save costs.
