Online Retail Mortgage Lender Quicken Loans Supports Massive Growth and Delivers Optimal Customer Service With the Help of VMware and Microsoft Software, HP and Sun Servers, and AMD Opteron Processors

Quicken Loans, Inc. wanted to support massive ongoing company growth while continuing to maintain a high level of customer service and reduce server sprawl in the datacenter, as well as heat emissions. The challenge was to ensure optimal performance for today and tomorrow. A virtualization environment was established on AMD Opteron processor-based HP ProLiant DL585 servers running VMware virtual infrastructure software and a Business Intelligence (BI) environment running the AMD Opteron processor on an 8-way, 16-core Sun Fire X4600 M2 server with Microsoft Windows Enterprise Edition 2003 64-bit operating system.
