Manufacturing

Times Are A Changing

Manufacturing companies are undergoing significant transformations in an attempt to maintain competitive advantage. Organizations need to run their IT systems more efficiently and cost-effectively than ever before. However, they still need to keep expanding their presence across geographic regions to keep up with the demands.

Change Is Becoming Virtually Possible

With a Virtual Infrastructure solution, companies can create a platform for software development and quality assurance, legacy and customer applications, network and Web infrastructure servers, and collaboration servers - bringing multiple benefits that include:

• Cost savings - manufacturing companies leveraging a Virtual Infrastructure platform can realize up to a 70 percent savings using virtual machines instead of physical servers
• Server containment - Add 50+ virtual machines to your IT infrastructure without buying any more physical servers
• Time savings - IT departments can provision new servers in hours instead of weeks. With faster server-provisioning, the IT team will be better positioned to rapidly respond to more revenue-driven business requests.
• Increased CPU utilization - With most standalone servers running at 5 percent utilization, virtual servers are often running at 50 percent plus utilization.
• Streamlined development & testing - Virtual Infrastructure allows developers to quickly and easily set-up different configurations for development and testing on a single piece of hardware

Isn't It Time To Change Your Results?

By deploying vital applications on a consolidated Virtual Infrastructure platform, manufacturing businesses are able to more quickly roll-out goods and services. Many have also realized substantial IT-related savings and improved up-time and availability.

The result: Higher profits, reduced business disruption, and enhanced productivity.
