We had to look for a solution with known business benefits. We choose Dell Professional Services and Dell servers.

Eros Humberto Guillen Urbina, Subdirector de Infraestructura Tecnológica, Grupo Posadas S.A.B. de C.V., Mexico

Challenge
To maintain its world-class resources and continue to provide critical services for the hotel business, Grupo Posadas needed to upgrade its data center without making large hardware investments. Seeking to align IT with corporate goals, the IT group needed to reduce costs while optimizing management and maintaining a robust and efficient server and storage solution.
Solution
Posadas implemented a virtualized server environment using Dell™ PowerEdge™ R900 servers with Intel® Xeon® processors and VMware virtualization and cluster technology. The servers connect with Dell Fibre Channel networked storage systems and Dell EqualLogic™ iSCSI SANs.
Benefits
• 1.61 million USD ROI in 33 months with virtualization due to not having to buy 230 physical servers
• Avoidance of 275,000 USD expansion of data center
