A Moving Experience

"The Dell team worked with the suppliers to ensure we had everything we needed before the move. Dell understood how important this move was to us, and it gave us a great feeling to know they had us covered.”

- Dan Petlon, vice president, IT and quality assurance, Enterasys

High co-location costs prompt Enterasys to move its data center infrastructure in-house, but the IT team faces power and cooling constraints, as well as a challenging deadline.

The IT team meets the deadline and cuts operating costs by virtualizing on Dell^TM  PowerEdge^TM  servers and Dell EqualLogic^TM  iSCSI storage arrays.

• Get IT Faster: Virtualizing on Dell hardware enables the IT team to move into a new data center in only six weeks; Dell EqualLogic arrays enable the team to add storage in half an hour
• Run IT Better: Server consolidation helps reduce power usage; consolidating on Dell servers reduces the need to purchase new hardware
• Grow IT Smarter: Virtualized Dell infrastructure allows the IT team to easily accommodate future growth
