Broadgreen International, Intel: Virtual Education
Case Study: Intel® Modular Server powered by Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series, Enterprise Server
Leading high school boosts IT capabilities with Intel® technology. Broadgreen International School is dedicated to setting the standard for 21st century education. Accommodating students from ages 11 to 18 in Liverpool, England, over the last few years, it has invested heavily in updating and upgrading its facilities. These include a state-of-the-art technology center, a new drama studio and even an on-site bistro.
CHALLENGES
• Reduce power use. Aging servers posed a constant threat of overheating, demanding heavy use of air conditioning to keep them cool.
• Boost performance. Feedback from students and teachers showed that the IT platform was often slow to respond to user needs.
• Enhance manageability. Fragmented server fleet could not be administered easily, resulting in underutilization and inefficiency.
SOLUTIONS
• Consolidate. Intel® Modular Server modules powered by Intel® Xeon® processors 5500 series can handle more demand with greater performance, meaning less hardware is required.
• Simplify. Modular, out-of-the-box server architecture makes installation and management smooth and quick while offering shared storage, backup, and networking in one place.
• Virtualize. Making use of virtualization features of Microsoft Windows Server* 2008 and Hyper-V means fleet can be managed more effectively, minimizing wasted resources.
