Virtualization Information : IBM Virtualization Technology Helps Leading Wireless Provider
IBM today announced that a leading cellular telephone provider, T-Mobile Direct, has implemented IBM virtualization technology to simplify the management of technology resources for its retail stores, helping save the company thousands of dollars per month in data center and personnel costs.
T-Mobile Direct, which oversees the growing retail network, telesales and online activities of T-Mobile, the UK network for Deutsche Telekom, was tasked with more than doubling the number of UK retail stores from 128 to 303 stores within one year. With the expected rise in sales volumes at its retail stores, T-Mobile Direct needed to increase the capacity and performance of core business systems, while simultaneously easing its IT management infrastructure.
Virtualizing your infrastructure is a great way of maximizing the benefit you get from your infrastructure, what’s key is getting it right the first time, there will always be the usual mistakes, but implementing a long term, an ongoing way of using vmware/xen to virtualize your infrastructure is critical, it needs to be seen both by IT and business as a ‘cost of doing business’, yes you may have paid for the DL380, but if it’s not being used to its full potential, an virtual machine could provide you with the same benefit, and could be reused-redeployed or decommissioned reclaiming space, power and reducing the pressure on cooling capacity.
