Almost two years ago, Westcon Group, Inc., the leading specialty distributor in networking, convergence, security and mobility, began a massive project that entailed migrating each of its regional Data Centers to a single, cloudbased virtualized environment. Westcon Group centralized its Data Center using the Cisco Unified Computing System and EMC storage area network (SAN) technology, increasing its network efficiency and generating more than $1.1 million in operational savings.
Westcon Group previously relied on more than 175 physical servers across multiple geographies for the core of its network operations. Over the last several months, this was reduced to 24 Cisco
