Investment Firm Expands Service Recovery, Lowers Costs With Virtualization

Tags: windows server 2008, windows server, server, management, applications

Overview Munder Capital Management of Birmingham, Michigan, thrives on information. Interruptions to business systems often left traders and analysts without access to information needed to make quick decisions. The company also struggled with server sprawl, which raised operating costs and hindered new-service rollouts. Munder Capital Management used Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V virtualization technology to improve its disaster responsiveness, reduce server hardware by 40 percent, lower electrical and management expenses by U.S.$1,000 a month, and increase business agility. Munder Capital plans to use Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 to manage its virtual landscape, and Microsoft Application Virtualization to deliver applications centrally and more reliably. Compellent Storage Center storage area networks round out the company's virtualization solution.
