With the IT infrastructure at ALERT Life Sciences Computing growing by more than 100 percent annually, the IT department needed to take action to avoid running out of rack space or spending increasing amounts of time on basic server management.
ALERT deployed a Dell PowerEdge™ M1000e modular blade enclosure with PowerEdge M600 blade servers to support its internal IT infrastructure. The company connected the enclosure to a Dell/EMC CX3-10c storage area network and implemented PowerEdge R805 servers to run VMware® virtualization software.
Dell engineers installed the new PowerEdge M1000e enclosure in just over one hour. Now, two virtualized servers do the work of 20 non-virtualized physical servers. Plus, using simplified management tools help reduce reboot time from 15 minutes to less than a minute.
ALERT also uses Dell ProSupport for IT to help protect its investments with rapid support.
