Case Study: Federal Government Agency achieves secure, cost-effective data center consolidation with Merlin International

Merlin helps federal agencies with secure, economical, and environmentally friendly consolidated data center services

Federal Government Agency worked with Merlin International to address the challenge of consolidating five existing U.S. data centers into a single, secure, economical, and environmentally friendly environment. The agency also needed a complete suite of IT data center services to support routine and mission-critical applications, including hosting, monitoring, security, continuity and recovery, and managed services.

Merlin International helped implement a centralized data center offering that supported more than 2,000 servers and 200+ applications, while providing hardware and software maintenance, managed licensing, technology refresh, and professional services. The result was improved cost recovery and capacity, cloud-ready operations, continuity of service, and security that exceeded federal requirements, with guaranteed system availability of at least 99% and successful application migrations without disruption.
