HP Virtual Connect Helps Premera Grow Faster and Cut Costs

Premera Blue Cross serves more than 1.7 million people, from individuals to Fortune 100 companies, with health, life, vision, dental, long-term care coverage, and other related services. Premera is expanding its Web-based services for consumers and providers to enhance the quality of care and keep costs in check. Yet data center space to stage these and other services-in both the company's main data center near Seattle and its Disaster Recovery (DR) data center near Spokane-is extremely tight. Premera standardized on the HP BladeSystem, HP Insight Control Environment, and HP Virtual Connect.
