Overview Global System Services Corporation (GSS) is a consulting and professional services firm, as well as an independent software developer and vendor based in the Silicon Valley area of northern California. GSS wanted to reduce cost and complexity of building and operating test systems. The company also wanted to support Solaris, Linux and Windows environments and increase responsiveness of systems. This was solved by implementing a Sun Fire X4200 server and installed VMWare. The combination replaced 10 Intel servers. Now GSS is experiencing higher productivity, increased server utilization and a rapid return on investment.
