Growing City Streamlines IT, Boosts Productivity With New Server Solution

Overview As it goes through rapid population growth, the City of McHenry, Illinois, faces challenges in successfully managing city computer and network operations while providing residents with all the services they expect. The city's IT department, in particular, had significant problems with an aging server infrastructure that created reliability and scalability issues, and needed new software to manage police department activities. As a solution, the city deployed Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 on an NEC Express5800 fault tolerant series of servers. The solution has not only reduced the hardware used by the city by allowing multiple applications to exist on "Virtual machines," but has also provided a cost-effective, high-availability solution that can be efficiently managed, which helps employees and the IT department be more productive.
