Gosselin uses Cheops Technology to virtualise IT infrastructure: a conscious choice to reduce costs and optimise management
Edegem, 23 June 2010
Cheops Technology, specialist in pro-active IT network management, is joining forces with Gosselin Group, a major player in the international moving and logistics sector. Cheops conducted a thorough analysis of Gosselin’s IT problems, which resulted in an urgently needed infrastructure update.
The entire IT optimisation process consisted of several stages and took six months to complete. Solutions were provided in five areas:
- Blade servers and VMware virtualisation
- Optimal e-mail systems
- Improved management of licences
- Data centralisation
- Pro-active management
The combination of these implementations and services resulted in the following business benefits for Gosselin Group:
a) Virtualisation
- Lower operating costs
- High availability
- Simplified server management
- Operational flexibility as regards expansion
b) E-mail systems
- Efficient form of defence against spam and viruses
- Optimum e-mail delivery speed thanks to Managed E-mail Security
c) Advice on licences
- Most cost-effective licence formula for your IT infrastructure guaranteed
d) Data centralisation
- Data management is centralised, and therefore simplified.
- Less storage capacity is required.
e) IT Support
- Cheops’ pro-active services enable IT costs to be reduced by 30% on average.
- Services are offered as modules.
