View how the City of Mesa, AZ, implemented Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) as part of their data center equipment refresh and long-term server virtualization strategy:
- Business Situation: Administrators were spending a significant amount of time dealing with manual tasks due to the complexity and rigidity of their legacy platform. In addition to a data center refresh, the infrastructure team aimed to develop a long-term virtualization strategy.
- Challenge: The list of requirements for the new data center platform was extensive due to the five-year growth plan that the infrastructure team wanted to implement. In addition, they had investigated transitioning to a blade server infrastructure in the past, but had found it prohibitive.
