virtuAlizAtion
Concello de Santiago is the local govenment o Santiago de Compostela, a UNESCO wold heitage city located
in the nothwest o Spain that is enown o its cultual and histoical attactions.
While Santiago’s achitectue might be timeless, its IT inastuctue is not, and it was stating to expeience
poblems as it aged. “Many o ou machines would stop woking without any eason,” says Fenando Suae
Loenzo. “We knew it was a hadwae poblem, so we chose to migate to a new, moe eliable hadwae
platom utilizing the latest geneation o Intel Xeon pocessos.”
VMwae Inastuctue 3 helped Concello de Santiago to seamlessly tansition its old machines by conveting
physical seves into vitual machines and then migating them onto VMwae ESX hypevisos poweed by Inte
Xeon pocessos. “We had ou new vitual inastuctue up and unning in less than one day,” says Loenzo.
“We’ve vitualized ve dieent applications that ae citical not just to city hall, but also to the public. Now
that we have these combined VMwae and Intel technologies in place, we will continue to leveage them as a
scalable platom o utue application deployments.”
I Customer Snapshot“Moving rom a physical inrastructure to a virtua
inrastructure powered by VMware and Inte
technologies has been very benefcial or the city. We
experience more reliability, less administration, and
better perormance”

HIGHLIGHTS
CHALLENGE
Tansition mission-citical applications om
aging physical seves to a vitual inastuctue
SOLUTION
VMwae® Intel technology ceates a scalable,
fexible vitual inastuctue that inceases
application eliability
VMWARE AND INTEL AT WORK

RESULTS
Incease uptime o citical applica-
tions. “One o Intel’s hallmaks is
the eliability o thei pocessos,”
says Loenzo. “Since we’ve used
VMwae technology to vitualize
ou most impotant applications, we
want to make sue those VMwae
ESX seves ae unning on eliable
hadwae.”
reduce maintenance-elated down-
time. “Thanks to the achitectue o
Intel’s pocessos, we can migate
unning vitual machines om one
physical seve to anothe with
VMwae VMotion and Intel VT
FlexMigation while maintaining
continuous sevice availability and
tansaction integity,” says Loenzo.
Achieve 10:1 seve consolidation
atio. “We made a point o buying
the most poweul pocesso
that wee available at the time
which wee Intel’s quad coe Xeon
pocessos,” says Loenzo. “Tha
has allowed us to t as many as ten
vitual machines on each VMwae
ESX hypeviso and consistentl
have eliable peomance.”
