FIMBank P.L.C. Enables Growth in New Business Areas With HP Blade Servers and Virtualization - Realizes a 300% ROI

The FIMBank Group is a global provider of trade related financial services. In 2004, FIMBank anticipated an obstacle to the growth it had enjoyed for eight years. Its IT landscape, characterized by older servers with directly attached storage, was no longer able to meet the growing needs of the business. Furthermore, FIMBank faced constraints particular to Malta which compounded the issues: steep shipping charges on all imported goods, extremely high real estate costs and expensive energy resources. A good match on all counts, the high quality and reliability of cutting-edge HP technologies, coupled with the availability of competent and experienced local implementation partners, made HP an obvious choice for the project.
