THE CD-ADAPCO SOLUTION
CD-adapco was experiencing issues deploying a high performance cluster with limited environment resources: cooling and power. Essextec assessed and addressed the company's pain by providing performance above the competition without the need for a data center footprint as the solution can be deployed under someone's desk. The customized solution for CD-adapco consisted of IBM BladeCenter S - an all-in-one chassis with integrated, high-performance SAN which is ideal for small offices and remote branch environments - bundled with software. Essextec also provided financing options for this tailored solution.
