Server Consolidation White Papers

Information Provider Cuts Costs and Improves Disaster Recovery With Virtual Machines

Overview Kroll Factual Data delivers Web-based business information to companies such as mortgage lenders and property management firms. In 2003, Kroll Factual Data acquired a company with only 98 hours left on its lease. To avoid paying for the leases on two data centers, Kroll Factual Data chose to migrate the acquired data center onto virtual servers. After an initial deployment of VMware ESX Server, Kroll Factual Data deployed Microsoft Virtual Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition. Today, the company hosts one of the largest known deployments of Virtual Server 2005 R2, with more than 1,400 virtual machines running on 345 physical server computers. As a result of deploying Virtual Server, Kroll Factual Data has reduced expenses and improved system stability and flexibility.
