To meet growing demand for its services, the IT department for the government of the Canary Islands needed to expand and update its existing VMware virtualization environment. The new solution had to offer high performance, scalability, security, and operational efficiency. After an exhaustive research process, the IT department chose Red Hat® Enterprise Virtualization. In just 4 months, it successfully migrated 100 physical servers running approximately 1,000 virtual machines on VMware to Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization—all while keeping the department fully functional and without impacting users. This migration also improved the consolidation ratios of virtual machines per host, and resulted in budget savings of up to 70% compared to previous virtualization platforms.
