State of Indiana Saves $14 Million, Boosts IT Reliability, Offers New Services for Residents

Tags:
monitoring systems

Overview In 2005, the state of Indiana embarked on an optimization of its core IT infrastructure to dramatically improve service levels while reducing cost. The state replaced a highly decentralized series of e mail solutions running on 100 server computers with Microsoft Exchange Server software running on two 4-computer clusters. Hundreds of desktop applications - including many older applications that were causing conflicts with current software - were virtualized using Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. And software deployments, security updates, asset inventory, and remote help-desk support were enabled by a move from Altiris Notification Server to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007.
