Energy Efficiency Customer Success Stories
1800Radiator
With VMware Infrastructure 3, 1800Radiator not only enabled a new and improved disaster recovery strategy, but also dramatically cut power and cooling costs, receiving a $6,000 PG&E rebate check in the process.
QUALCOMM
As a "VMware-first" company, internal groups at QUALCOMM receive virtual machines instead of physical servers as a default policy. The company now has an allocation model that is based on resource needs, not server needs, and saves approximately $19,000 per month in power and cooling costs.
Solvay Pharmeceuticals
With just over 100 virtual machines, Solvay Pharmaceuticals estimates a savings of more than $1.5 million in hardware costs alone. The company also saves in space, power, cooling, network connections, racks, power hookups and SAN connections.
World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
Virtualization has allowed the United Kingdom branch of the WWF to dramatically reduce their carbon footprint while simplifying management of their IT infrastructure and create an effective disaster recovery practice. After experiencing these benefits, the WWF-UK IT team has been urging the entire global operation of WWF to implement VMware solutions.
Johnson Controls
At Johnson Controls they achieved a 20:1 consolidation ratio, driving consolidation up from 0.1 percent to 70%. They were on the verge of buying in-room chillers to handle the heat load but with virtualization they regained 32 tons of cooling capacity.
Huntsville Hospital
Huntsville Hospital selected VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to satisfy their desktop manageability requirements. They deployed thin clients to replace 400 desktop PCs and reduced power usage across the environment by 72%.
