When MSC were looking to replace their data warehousing server, BMS were able to demonstrate their HP partnership. The existing server was over 3 years old and, due to expansion, both on the number of calculations and users accessing the information, needed replacing. Being an Integrity Ready Partner, BMS were able to – design a solution around the HP Integrity
rx3600 Itanium server; this powerful server is ideal for business-critical applications and database workloads.
The Integrity server features new architecture that delivers significantly expanded computing capabilities. Its virtualization, scalability, and availability make it an ideal choice for enterprise-level workload consolidation – helping you to accelerate business growth, lower costs, and mitigate risk. We have access to demonstration equipment and supported pricing from HP which enables us to provide MSC with market-leading products at competitive prices.
