HP BladeSystem Pays Off for European Investment Group

F&C Investments is a leading European investment group, and manages $200 billion of assets for private investors, financial advisors, and institutional clients. F&C Investments wanted to reduce the footprint in its data centers, more quickly provision servers, and reduce the time and effort required to set up application testing environments. F&C Investments deployed the HP BladeSystem infrastructure in concert with VMware virtualization software to create a more automated way to create test environments and deploy new servers.
