INX Announces Denton County Texas Project Completion

Business Wire
INX Inc., (NASDAQ:INXI - News)
announced today that it has completed a data center virtualization
migration for Denton County, TX.
Denton County, Texas partnered with INX to consult and assist
with a data center migration project that virtualized the majority
of their production servers. The project enabled them to
consolidate assets and gain efficiencies which lowered cost and
increased the level of service.
The project focused on migrating 24 servers from Microsoft’s
Hyper-V solution to VMware vSphere and then virtualizing the
majority of their remaining 139 production servers to the VMware
platform. The project was as a result of the initial outcome of
lower costs, reduced power usage and increased availability. Denton
County grew interested in the idea of virtualizing their remaining
physical servers and was looking forward to the increased
capabilities that VMware’s vSphere would offer.
Kevin Carr, Director of Technology Services, said that his team
began to have some initial concerns about using Microsoft’s Hyper-V
as their platform when they discovered that several of their assets
had statements supporting VMware, but not mentioning the Microsoft
hypervisor. After consulting with INX, they began evaluating VMware
vSphere as an alternative and found it to be a better fit for their
environment. They saw vSphere's fault tolerance for
mission-critical servers as a superior option to clustering
software and hardware solutions.
"As a big Cisco shop, we wanted the ability to manage both the
virtual and physical networks with the same Cisco interface with
which we are familiar," said Carr. "The Cisco Nexus 1000V virtual
switch, in conjunction with vSphere, provides that capability while
also reducing the amount of time required to manage the virtual
switches by providing an aggregated management console."
Other vSphere management capabilities were appealing according
to Carr. His team liked the single pane of glass management view
enabled by vSphere vs. the multiple consoles required to
effectively manage a Hyper-V environment.
Stacy Hutchings, INX North Texas Regional VP, said, “We are
excited to be involved in this project with Denton County. We were
able to find a solution that positively impacted their business and
bottom line.”
"We knew that we wanted all of the virtualization
functionalities," said Kevin Carr, "Once we explored our options
for an enterprise data center it became clear to me what platform
we needed to migrate to. The maturity and enterprise capabilities
of vSphere made it a successful project."
