Manufacturer Cuts Costs, Improves Service, Streamlines Management With Virtualization
Overview Calcados Marte is a leading manufacturer of women's footwear, with 2009 revenues expected to reach U.S.$165 million. The Brazilian company relies on technology to share data among its internal users and widely dispersed resellers. With just four people on its IT staff responsible for managing its IT infrastructure, Calcados Marte sought to create a more flexible, streamlined environment that could handle the company's growth, raise the availability of its servers, and improve performance for all of its users. Using the Windows Server 2008 Enterprise operating system with Hyper-V technology, and several Microsoft System Center products, Calcados Marte expects to consolidate servers by nearly 40 percent, cut software update time by half and server provisioning time by two-thirds.
