The Who
- UK-based building society and mortgage advisor
- 4 offices in UK, 1 office in the Republic of Ireland
- Over 30 years of experience advising and supporting home buyers
- Roughly 1,200 users
The Challenge
- Recent acquisition led to merge of all teams across business
- Resulted in an excess of technology, prompting the need for rationalisation and radical change
- Server and storage assets approaching end of life
- Concerned about timescales to implement replacement technology
- Seeking a new environment that would fulfil their unique requirements for Cloud, VDI and intensive database workloads
The Solution
- Servium negotiated with third parties to add existing hardware assets to new support agreement
- Proposed solution ensured continuing support for legacy server and storage assets while new solutions were considered
- Maximised residual value from outgoing technology, helping budgets to go further
- Evaluated alternative on-premises and cloud-based solutions for server and storage
- This unearthed a preference for consumption or subscription-based service
- Proposed HPE GreenLake, which delivers cloud-like economics with on-premises delivery
The Benefits
- Peach of mind in knowing technology supported until end of life
- Reassurance from critical infrastructure being supported 24/7 by HPE
- Breathing space to sweat assets for longer
- Now enjoy consumption-based IT, with freedom to scale up and down at will
