VMware Case Study: Large Government Research Agency

The Network and Infrastructure Engineering Division at a large government research agency is responsible for providing core IT services for the agency as a whole. "Within the organization, they had roughly 300 physical servers and they were starting to run into the proverbial brick wall as far as power and cooling," says a solutions architect within the division. The Network and Infrastructure Engineering Division wanted to move mission-critical systems off of aging hardware and consolidate IT environment. VMware technology creates a virtual platform that allows more efficient delivery of IT services.
