Server Consolidation White Papers
Automotive Services Retailer Shrinks Data Center by Half, Cuts Operational Costs
Overview Midas is one of the world's largest automotive service providers, including exhaust, brakes, steering, suspension, and maintenance services. There are more than 1,700 franchised and company-owned Midas locations in the United States and Canada. The Midas data center contained many older server computers running unsupported business software. Midas needed to consolidate its servers to create a more stable environment and reduce the size of the data center. It also wanted to minimize the costs in hardware, consulting fees, and rewriting software for the new environment. Midas migrated 16 older servers to 4 physical servers running Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2. The company reduced hardware migration costs by 53 percent and made the transition without consulting help.
