XenSource Case Study: KBC Clearing

Overview

KBC Clearing, a subsidiary of the Belgian financial services company KBC, is a leading financial services institution in Europe. The company needed to re-locate their data center, which had 40 servers, with reduced complexity and wanted to ease management issues as a result of server sprawl. KBC Clearing evaluated several virtualization offerings and then selected XenSource because of its superior performance and price. As a result they now deploy new servers in less than ten minutes. Reduction of non-server hardware saves money and ease of management and increased flexibility by deploying new virtual machines remotely.
