Welch's

VMware Virtual Infrastructure Quenches Welch's Thirst for Low-Cost Business Continuity and High Availability

"I have so much faith in the VMware technology that we are rolling it out to our five production plants. In fact, our secret juice recipe database runs in a virtual machine and has been running there for four years."

—George Scangas, Sr. IT Infrastructure Analyst, Welch's

WTC Communications (Desktop)

WTC Communications Keeps Rural Kansas Connected with VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure

WWF United Kingdom

VMware® Infrastructure 3 for 5:1 server consolidation and high availability of critical servers

"Virtualisation has allowed WWF to simply manage our IT infrastructure and create an effective disaster recovery practice. After experiencing these benefits in our UK office, my IT team has been urging all of our other offices to ‘go virtual.’ Our aim is for the entire global operation of WWF to run on VMware and dramatically reduce our carbon footprint through virtualisation."

—Ian Exton, Network Manager, WWF United Kingdom

Wyndham City Council

Genesis Multimedia Solutions

VMware infrastructure improves IT performance, accelerates server deployment process, eliminates customer downtime during maintenance cycles.

“Our objective is to provide medium-sized businesses with a means to lease highly available, managed virtual infrastructure for production, test, development, demo environments and disaster recovery with guaranteed and measured service levels. Without the flexibility of VMware Infrastructure 3, sharing a cluster of computing resources with guaranteed service levels would be either too expensive or completely out of reach.”

—Eric K. Miller, President, Genesis Multimedia Solutions

Wyse Technology

By moving to VMware virtual infrastructure, Wyse Technology was able to improve productivity and performance without incurring the cost of expensive new hardware. We have saved $350,000 in avoided hardware investment costs and are saving $30,000 per year in operational costs.

“VMware Infrastructure 3 had reduced the frequency of outages for core
infrastructure services by 100 percent, saving 416 man hours per year
in unplanned maintenance. VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler
(DRS) and VMware High Availability (HA) are fully automated and
performing flawlessly. During the first 24 hours up and running, DRS
performed 40 VMotions and the users didn’t even notice a difference.
With our key infrastructure totally running on VMware technology,
we’ve not only reduced the IT management burden, but also lowered
our annual TCO to 20 percent of the original cost.”

 

 

—Faan DeSwardt, Director of Enterprise Architecture, Wyse Technology

XL Capital
