Basd in Phonix, Aizona, John C. Lincoln Halth Ntwok (JCL) is an acclaimd halth systm that includ

two hospitals, physician pactics, community outach pogams and th John C. Lincoln Halth Foundation.

JCL sks to st th standad o xcllnc in all aspcts o halthca, and that yn o xcllnc xtnd

to its IT inastuctu. W took a look at ou xisting data cnt and dcidd it was tim to consolidat ou

svs to avoid utu poblms with pow and cooling, whil at th sam tim poviding mo liability

and dundancy, says Matt Mancini, ntwok administato at JCL. Vitualization was th pct avnu to

achiv ths objctivs.

Using th VMwa Inastuctu 3 platom and nw blad svs outfttd with th latst Intl Xon pocssos

JCL was abl to div consolidation o svs within its data cnt. Whn you buy an Intl platom, you

know that it is an industy standad, that it has bn wll tstd, and that it is going to pom wll o you,

says Mancini. And that has ctainly bn ou xpinc in using it with VMwas vitualization solution.

I Customer SnapshotIntels Xeon processors work with the VMware

Infrastructure 3 platform to give us the maximum server

consolidation per dollar. If our virtual infrastructure was a

car, wed be getting more than 100 miles per gallon.

RESULTS

Achiv 15:1 sv consolidation.

right now, w hav ou VMwa

eSX hypvisos handling appoxi-

matly 15 vitual machins ach,

and Intls Xon pocssos nsu

that th pomanc is solid, says

Mancini. Ths plnty o pocss-

ing pow I nv hav to woy

about that lmnt.

Incas CPU utilization tn-old.

Pio to vitualization, w had

svs unning at 2-3 pcnt CPU

utilization, says Mancini. Now,

w can gt clos to 20 pcnt

utilization o ou svs, and still

hav plnty o hadoom.

Annual savings o $50k. Btw

ducd pow and cooling costs

and ou ability to vntually tak 150

svs down to just tn blads, w

xpct to sav $50,000 p ya,
