Case Study: Bellevue Group halves IT administration and cuts IT and power costs by 20% with Webex by Cisco

Bellevue Group deals with one IT firm and halves its admin, with 20 percent less IT and power costs

Bellevue Group, a Switzerland-based banking and asset management firm with 86 employees, faced a sprawling in-house data center (25 rack servers) that increased administrative overhead, complicated compliance and limited availability as it prepared to build a second site. The bank’s goals were to simplify operations, improve compliance and service delivery, and achieve high availability for round-the-clock trading.

Bellevue consolidated on a Cisco-based solution—FlexPod (Cisco Nexus switching + UCS servers) in active‑active primary and secondary sites, plus Cisco collaboration, security and wireless tools installed by partner Netcloud—to virtualize core banking and key applications. The result: IT admin workload cut by 50%, application performance up ~25%, IT and power costs down ~20%, faster change windows, higher uptime, improved client-facing collaboration and support for new services.
