Businesses across industries worldwide are realizing business results utilizing Sun's
virtualization technologies and offerings - optimizing, simplifying and improving their
environments.
"Virtualization has allowed us to avoid the purchase of approximately $2 million as
compared to the traditional computing model," says Ken Karls, manager of network and
datacenter engineering at Dow Corning.
"In the past, I'd have to send out individual RFPs and POs for each request and the
process took four to six weeks," remembers Gene Down, Senior Infrastructure Engineer
at Dow Corning. "Now, I can meet the need for a new server image in less than two hours."
From a customer viewpoint, the company is not only saving money, but the deployment time
has been reduced by 99%.
"We're able to consolidate four of our old boxes onto one newer box using Solaris
Containers," says Steve Guntly, Manager, Systems Administration, netINS Inc. "We plan to
do this with a number of other systems. Reduced server hardware, licensing and labor
costs will lower our TCO by about 50 percent."
"Thanks to Sun's storage virtualization technology, our systems were not only released
of important management functions but we also witnessed a substantial optimization of
our resources." Charles Inches, IT Director, Cornèr Banca. Now able to handle 30 percent
year-over-year data growth without increasing the number of system engineers and storage
administrators, Cornèr Banca is committed to virtualization and to Sun.
