Case Study: The Vollrath Company achieves 90% server utilization with AHEAD's Converged Infrastructure solution

Vollrath achieves 90 percent server utilization with AHEAD Converged Infrastructure solution

The Vollrath Company, a long-established foodservice manufacturer, was facing rapid growth from acquisitions and needed a more scalable, unified IT backbone. Its legacy server environment had limited capacity, too many moving parts, and too many single points of failure, making it difficult to maintain and support. Vollrath turned to AHEAD for a more strategic infrastructure approach, using a converged infrastructure solution to better support its expanding business.

AHEAD implemented a VCE Vblock 540 with XtremIO, giving Vollrath the ability to provision servers as needed and consolidate development, test, and production workloads. The result was a much more stable environment with 80% to 90% server virtualization, zero or minimal downtime, improved redundancy, easier implementation, and stronger scalability for future acquisitions.
