A virtualization solution from thinkASG increased efficiency and cost effectiveness for Lantronix Inc.
Lantronix, Inc. is a global leader of secure communication technologies that simplify remote access, management, and control of virtually any electronic device.
THE CHALLENGE
Lantronix Inc. required the partnership of a hardware firm to expand rack space, refresh several Windows servers and create a more energy efficient and robust pathway for provisioning Windows servers.
THE SOLUTION
thinkASG delivered implementation of fibre attached DS3400 SAN storage and implementation of two high powered x3950 with VMware ESX.
“By using an alternative to conventional physical servers, we were able to create an option of virtual servers that met the customer’s needs,” said Patrick Selzer, Account Executive for thinkASG .
THE RESULT
thinkASG’s successful 5 week implementation process, built on a robust, proven foundation, led to increased efficiency of the virtualization software for Lantronix Inc. and exceeded expectations in that:
* The total solution with VMware, Storage, Training and servers was less than $80k, which proved that virtualization could be accomplished within budget
* Initially, 9 servers consolidated to 2 or only 78% of the initial reduction model. Now, more servers are scheduled in the total consolidation plan that will increase this by approximately 90%
