HP ProLiant Servers and AMD Opteron Processors Lighten Energy Loads and Space Requirements

Overview

Headquartered in London, England, BAA plc provides airport services at its seven U.K. airports - from car parking to ticketing. To become more efficient and proactive in providing IT services to the enterprise, this international airport company needed to consolidate its databases and servers, as well as improve the IT environment's use of space and energy. BAA avoided having to expand its current data center or build a new one by standardizing on HP ProLiant DL585 and DL385 AMD Opteron processor-based servers for Microsoft Windows Server and other business-critical applications. BAA continues to use ProLiant DL-series servers for a myriad of functions. The airport operator also counts on HP Services and adaptive management solutions, including HP OpenView applications and Systems Insight Manager for centralized control and proactive administration.
