NetBenefit: Cost-Effective Service for Customers
Business Need
NetBenefit wanted to offer a more competitive and flexible service to its customers by cutting costs, reducing power consumption, and simplifying management.
Solution
NetBenefit worked with Dell and Microsoft on its Technology Adoption Programme (TAP), creating a new service with Dell PowerEdge* servers and Hyper-V* virtualization from Microsoft.
Upgrading an IT infrastructure to the latest software and hardware is only useful if you can make that technology work for you. Firms that develop relationships at a strategic level with tier one solution providers can find their challenges met faster with early access to the "next big thing."
NetBenefit is a hosting provider that doesn’t work to a template. It provides customers with tailored solutions, and for over 15 years it has grown into an international corporation with datacenters in the UK and Europe. For all this time, NetBenefit has used only Dell hardware and Microsoft software. In doing so, it has developed a strong relationship with both firms.
When Microsoft first released details about its virtualization technology – Hyper-V – Dean Clark, Head of Technical Operations and Service Delivery at NetBenefit spoke to Dell about how Hyper-V could help the business. Clark says: "Our customers are looking for high availability hosting. When Hyper-V was first released, we saw that it could help reduce server administration time and energy costs in the datacenter. Dell assisted us in getting an early look at this technology."
