PlateSpin Helps Essent Consolidate Three Data Centers Into One, Saves Company EUR 2 Million

Tags:
data center

Overview With some 700 Wintel servers, Essent's primary data center was already large and growing by approximately 100 servers per year. The company faced a number of challenges in accommodating this rapid growth including a lack of floor space and server capacity, as well as power and cooling shortfalls. By enabling many different workload movement activities, PlateSpin PowerRecon and PowerConvert proved that they would be useful for both the data center consolidation project and the ongoing operational requirements in the data center - all within a single software, support and training investment.
