Case Study: Pedcor Companies cuts IT costs and builds a private cloud with Microsoft Windows Server 2012

Real Estate Firm Expects to Avoid $560,000 in IT Costs by Using New Operating System

Pedcor Companies, a real estate firm based in Indiana, faced challenges with a costly and inflexible IT infrastructure. Their VMware and Citrix solutions were expensive to maintain, remote employee access was difficult, and their data center suffered from frequent downtime. To boost business agility and reduce costs, they partnered with Microsoft Corporation to build a private cloud using the Windows Server 2012 operating system with Hyper-V virtualization.

Microsoft's solution, which also included Microsoft System Center 2012, enabled Pedcor to virtualize 90% of its data center and automate management tasks. The results were significant cost savings: Microsoft's technologies helped Pedcor avoid $560,000 in IT costs, including savings on software licensing, hardware, storage, and power. The new infrastructure also provided a foundation for a private cloud, improved business continuity, and empowered employees with more reliable access to applications.
