3-Tier SAP Virtualisation drives down TCO for Manchester Metropolitan University

“Virtualisation offered an effective way of overcoming most of our challenges, making our server estate less complex, easier to manage, more flexible and also driving down the TCO (Total Cost
of Ownership),” says James Kua, Systems Manager for Financial and Legal Services. “We can now easily adapt our computing capabilities in line with operations without costing the earth.”

"With SAP HCM for the Human Resources (HR) department and Payroll coming onboard, ease of deployment and manageability of the server estate is important, especially in view of the size of our team. Bull demonstrated how consolidating servers in a virtualised environment would make the whole system more efficient, easier to manage and flexible enough to cope with any upcoming demands.”

Using Bull Escala and NovaScale servers plus VMware, Bull was able to create much more resilient, consolidated and centralised administration, which also allowed Manchester Metroplitan University (MMU) to reduce overall capital expenditure, management and maintenance costs.
