How SDE Leads the Class with Lower Operating Costs and Higher Efficiency

Staff Development for Educators, a provider of professional development for schools and educators, faced the challenge of maintaining an outdated IT infrastructure with a downsized staff and a constrained budget, risking operational failure. Their IT Director, Jerry Stajduhar, sought a cost-effective way to improve performance and redundancy. Connection Inc. recommended a virtualization solution to consolidate their servers and reduce hardware costs.

The solution implemented by Connection Inc. involved their team of virtualization experts who helped plan and configure a new environment, providing crucial guidance on hardware selection and storage configuration. As a result, Staff Development for Educators drastically reduced its number of physical servers by approximately 90%, significantly lowering operating costs while maintaining performance. The support from Connection Inc. was described as invaluable, making the transition smooth and successful.
