 VMware and Intel are a wInnIng allIance for

allIed electronIcs

Allied Electics (Allied) is a small de, high sevice level distibut electic cmpets ad

electmechaical pducts with 55 sales baches acss the Uited States ad i Caada.

F a cmpay that ships ealy 5,000 packages evey day, access t key stwae applicatis plays a citica

le i esuig that packages make it ut the d time. “"We ca't ad t have ay sigicat system

dwtime as we ae a

custme-ieted gaizati," said Cal Sutt, IT Diect at Allied. "As a esult, u plicy is that ay

applicati sevice that we deply must be edudat. The VMwae platm plays ight it u Sevic

Level Ageemets (SLA) Allied Electics.”

VMwae Iastuctue 3, uig Itel pweed hadwae, has pvided a high degee edudacy

Allied’s ce IT iastuctue. Additially, the way that VMwae ad Itel techlgies wk tgethe

has esued a high degee pemace. “The achitectue that Itel has develped allws a lt the

vitualizati cmputig t be faded t the pcess itsel,” said David McCmbs, systems egiee a

“Like most companies, we started with virtualization as a way to

eliminate server sprawl and get better utilization out of our servers

Now, our VMware and Intel based virtualization solution is playing

a serious role in our disaster recovery discussions.”

cmpatibility pl eatues like

VMwae High Availability,” says

McCmbs. “I we lse a seve, we’ll

ly be dw a cuple secds

bee we get u missi citical
