Bobst Group Stacks Up Savings With VMware Virtual Infrastructure for Scalability and Server Containment

Overview Bobst Group is a leading supplier of equipment and services for the folding carton, corrugated board and flexible materials industries. The IT department supports about 1,800 people with software running on more than 200 servers. In 2003, the IT department sought to speed up its ability to respond to new projects and requests for new servers. Also, as requests for new servers were increasing, they needed a server containment solution to utilize the company's servers better, instead of buying more hardware. After researching possible solutions, the company proposed VMware software - particularly VMware GSX Server and VMware ESX Server - to reduce the need for more physical hardware.
