JanPak Delivers High Availability, Nimble Business Response Using VMware ESX Server and P2V Assistant

Overview JanPak has been dedicated to supplying customers with the highest-quality goods and services in the most efficient, timely manner. In December 2003, the company was motivated to find a more time- and cost-effective way to ensure high availability for a new Citrix- Oracle 9i based application - an enterprise routing system designed to coordinate fleet operations. Already familiar with VMware virtualization technology through prior use of VMware Workstation, the company obtained an evaluation license for VMware ESX Server software and began experimenting with the product. In addition to ESX Server, JanPak purchased P2V Assistant - an enterprise-class migration product that captures an application from an existing physical server and moves it to a VMware virtual machine.
