San Francisco Ballet
IT on Pointe
As the oldest professional ballet company in the U.S., the San Francisco Ballet has entertained generations of families since it started in 1933. The organization holds more than 100 performances each year, and plans carefully to avoid interruptions to its schedule due to natural disasters or other calamities. Central to its contingency preparations is VMware vCloud Air Disaster Recovery, which helps the San Francisco Ballet minimize risks and reduce costs so that the show can indeed go on.

Creative Cost Cutting
As a nonprofit organization, the San Francisco Ballet is aware of every dollar it spends. Rather than investing in more capital equipment for its existing disaster recovery site, the organization realized that the cloud was the way to go. By implementing VMware vCloud Air Disaster Recovery, San Francisco Ballet could integrate with its existing VMware vSphere virtualized infrastructure and further reduce the need to invest in disaster recovery infrastructure. Using this approach, the Ballet can redirect some of the IT budget to funding dancers, musicians, choreographers, and other artistic staff.
