Case Study: Server Virtualization Transforms Two Weeks of Server Provisioning to Ten Minutes of Server Upgrades

Posted on March 31st, 2009 by Judie Van Keulen

From too many physical servers to server provisioning processes that can stretch for weeks, many clients we work with at Evolving Solutions describe similar symptoms when detailing the data center inefficiencies they are striving to solve.  Oftentimes, the solutions we architect and deploy will immediately and significantly reduce the money and resources that for years had gone into working around these inefficiencies.

United Sugars Corporation, and parent company American Crystal Sugars Company first contacted Evolving Solutions describing the lengthy server provisioning process experienced by their IT professionals.

United Sugars and American Crystal manage a nationwide sugar supply chain, all via massive data centers.  When it came time to upgrade the tracking software applications within these data centers, the necessary server provisioning process stretched nearly two weeks and cost thousands of dollars.

We architected and deployed a server virtualization for United Sugars and American Crystal that reduced the two week server provisioning process in the companies’ data centers to a ten minute upgrade.

In doing so, we enabled the IT professionals at United Sugars and American Crystal to focus more time on mission critical tasks, including upgrading a disaster recovery process.

We’re very proud of the solution architected for United Sugars and American Crystal (we even won a Beacon Award for it!) and are happy to share with you the full server virtualization success story via a complimentary download.
