Case Study: Convergent Computing cuts server maintenance 70% with Microsoft Windows Server 2016

Convergent Computing - Customer Case Study

Convergent Computing (CCO), an IT consulting firm, faced the challenge of excessive time and resources spent on maintaining its server infrastructure, which diverted its consultants from revenue-generating customer work. To address this, the firm implemented early versions of Microsoft's Windows Server 2016 and System Center 2016 to streamline operations and create a more automated, self-healing network.

By leveraging Microsoft solutions like Nano Server and software-defined networking, CCO dramatically improved efficiency. The results included a 70 percent reduction in server operations overhead, the ability to create networks in minutes instead of weeks, and the elimination of a $20,000 budgeted hardware expenditure. These gains allowed consultants to focus on billable customer work, significantly improving business productivity.
