Abstract:Facing datacenter space and resource constraints, Bowdoin College used new technology to meet current and future needs. Last year, we consolidated over 60 servers onto 9 VMWare hosts, created an extensive R&D environment, and deployed a highly available and resilient financial system, all while saving over $350,000 in hardware costs.
