Crutchfield Case Study: A Win-Win Situation

Overview

Fast growth had pushed Crutchfield's data center to the maximum capacity of its cooling unit. The company wanted to reduce the number of physical machines to avoid buying a new air conditioner as well as streamline server management. By implementing Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 Hyper-VTM on DellTM PowerEdgeTM servers, Crutchfield was able to shrink its server footprint, reduce power and cooling costs, and manage its environment more efficiently.
