Almost two years ago, Westcon Group, Inc., the leading specialty distributor in networking, convergence, security and mobility, began a massive project that entailed migrating each of its regional Data Centers to a single, cloudbased virtualized environment. Westcon Group centralized its Data Center using the Cisco Unified Computing System and EMC storage area network (SAN) technology, increasing its network efficiency and generating more than $1.1 million in operational savings.
Westcon Group previously relied on more than 175 physical servers across multiple geographies for the core of its network operations.
