First Datacorp Published in Microsoft Case Study
Microsoft recently released a case study entitled “Holding Company Enhances Availability and IT Services, Cuts Costs with Virtualization” with Ayala Corporation as the featured company, one of the most diversified and highest-profile business conglomerates in the Philippines.
First Datacorp as a Gold Certified Partner of Microsoft that specializes in helping businesses architect, develop and deploy business-critical IT solutions engaged with Ayala Corporation with a goal to build a flexible, high-availability infrastructure that would help them minimize IT related costs.
After a thorough evaluation of different virtualization technologies, Microsoft’s Hyper-V proved to be the most efficient of all, being an end-to-end strategy that can profoundly affect nearly every aspect of the IT infrastructure management lifecycle. It can drive greater efficiencies, flexibility, and cost effectiveness throughout the organization. From accelerating application deployments; to ensuring systems, applications, and data are always available; to taking the hassle out of rebuilding and shutting down servers and desktops for testing and development; to reducing risk, slashing costs and improving the agility of your entire environment—virtualization has the power to transform your infrastructure, from data center to the desktop.
As quoted by Mr. Noli Cura, Manager, Technical Services Group, First Datacorp, “Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V is the best virtualization solution on the market. Its enhanced performance and stability help Ayala create a consolidated and highly reliable server infrastructure to host critical business applications. It also enables Ayala to maximize the return on its investment in Microsoft products.”
While Mr. Mauricio Franco Jr. Systems and Operations Manager, Ayala Corporation, adds, “Virtualization is the technology of the future. With the way it has structured its licensing, we expect Hyper-V to be the market leader.”
Ayala Corporation has consolidated physical server by more than 60 percent and reduced server rack space requirements by half, have accelerated provisioning, simplified management task and improved availability and business continuity.
“Using Microsoft virtualization technology marks a milestone for Ayala. It is giant leap into the “technology for the future’ and a win-win for our IT staff, end users and businesses.” - Ms. Maria Angelica Rapadas, CIO, Ayala Corporation
