Appsense, a provider of user environment management solutions for the enterprise, says its solution consolidates physical servers by 47% without virtualisation.
Sean Walsh, general manager for Australia and New Zealand, said that with companies increasingly looking to maximise IT infrastructure usage, “increasing efficiency of system resources is becoming a business imperative.”
Walsh says Appsense’s performance manager solved Powerco's key objective of improving server capacity without virtualising its Citrix environment.
“By making its servers work more efficiently, Powerco is benefiting from reduced hardware and maintenance costs and experiencing financial savings akin to those achieved by virtualisation."
Huw Griffiths, Powerco's infrastructure manager said the company knew its 47 Citrix servers were not running at full capacity and there was a need to make the hardware supporting Citrix applications more efficient, while still maintaining the same services.
“AppSense has helped us squeeze more users onto our existing Citrix servers without the need to virtualise our infrastructure or compromise business critical applications, and it’s been simple to implement and manage and sits well within our Citrix infrastructure."
According to Griffiths, by optimising resource use and consolidating servers, AppSense performance manager is also providing Powerco with benefits across its entire IT infrastructure, including reduced power consumption, a lower carbon footprint and reduced cooling and hardware costs.
