    Frost Science

    • Showcasing nature for a million visitors

    • When the museum moved to a new building, it had to design an IT environment that could handle the
      expected increase in the number of visitors. Reliably and for years to come, it also needed to support the many applications involved in managing exhibits, visitor services, facilities and business operations.

    • “Our IT performance increased by as much as 300 percent with Dell EMC technology.”

      —Brooks Weisblat, Vice President of Technology, Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science

    • The latest and greatest of technologies, powered by Dell EMC

      Dell EMC IT infrastructure manages all aspects of Frost Science, including the planetarium, which requires massive processing power. The museum went from 60 physical servers to 10 virtual servers, an 83% reduction.

       

    • Cutting power costs and increasing capacity

      With Dell EMC, Frost Science can serve triple the number of museum visitors without additional IT staff. A 200–300% increase in speed allows them to bring up new servers in minutes instead of days, and their power costs have dropped by 58%.
