"If my central console can manage both my Microsoft virtual machines and my VMware virtual machines with an interface that is familiar and easy for my Microsoft certified staff, that's a big plus." Brent Register, Client/Server Engineering Manager, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC), the largest newspaper in the Southeast, was adding servers to its data center at the rate of over 10 percent a year. The data center was experiencing power and cooling capacity problems at a time of shrinking budgets. To lower costs, the AJC implemented the Windows Server® 2008 Enterprise Operating System with Hyper-V™ technology. The newspaper has dramatically consolidated its servers and reduced costs. In addition, its disaster readiness, change management, and testing capabilities are much improved. Servers are better utilized, and the IT infrastructure can better accommodate changes. IT employees expect to save a great deal of time on provisioning and maintaining servers. The AJC also uses Microsoft® System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 to manage its virtualization landscape.
