So for everyone out there in Corporate America who is still on the fence, come on in and join the party! If the water is safe enough for the DoD, surely you guys can jump in? And guess what, they even saved money! That’s right, according to Mike Williams, CIO at DCMA, “DCMA has a duty to spend taxpayer money wisely while keeping the infrastructure running on a daily basis, and VMware Infrastructure allows us to do that.” As a key component of their data center strategy, virtualization was a cost-efficient way for them to accomodate agency growth without requiring additional floor space in their data center.The agency is currently upgrading to VMware Infrastructure 3, VMware’s latest generation of their enterprise class virtualization software suite. DCMA will leverage VMotion technology, VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and VMware High Availability (HA) to help them achieve service levels that weren’t possible with a physical infrastructure. They are now taking the next step and using VMware to accomplish disaster recovery. Software Development
