Powys County Council is saving 75% in server and storage energy costs with a system from Dell.

Chris Price, team leader of production services at Powys County Council, said, “The council hosts three separate IT environments - Novell Netware, Windows Server 2003 and Linux Slack ware - and 50% of its data centre had servers that were deployed in 1999, and which could no longer cope with demand”.

In doing so, the council has replaced its 80 legacy servers with just four, Intel-powered Dell PowerEdge 6850 servers , whilst a Dell/EMC CX320 storage area network (SAN) and two Dell PowerEdge 1950 servers have enhanced the system for business continuity.
