Case Study: Papa Gino’s achieves faster growth and lower energy use with ComputerSupport’s IBM BladeCenter implementation

Papa Gino’s reduces server energy use by 35% with ComputerSupport

Papa Gino’s, a restaurant chain, faced constraints on its IT infrastructure due to explosive growth, struggling with data center space, power, and cooling. They needed to consolidate servers and support rapid business growth but lacked experience with new blade server technology. They turned to vendor StratusPointIT for a solution involving IBM BladeCenter systems.

StratusPointIT implemented a solution using IBM BladeCenter blade servers, including creating active/passive clustered pairs for high availability. This allowed Papa Gino’s to streamline application deployment. The results included a significant reduction in required floor space and 35% less energy consumption per server. StratusPointIT completed the integration ahead of schedule.
