Case Study: Georgetown University Law School achieves reliable, cost-effective system uptime with Park Place Technologies

Georgetown University Law School cuts data center support costs with Park Place Technologies

Georgetown University Law School faced the challenge of maintaining its aging data center hardware, which included many Dell servers no longer supported by the manufacturer. The IT Director, Matthew B., needed to find a reliable and cost-effective support alternative to the manufacturer's own programs to ensure critical system uptime without incurring the high cost of new server purchases. They engaged Park Place Technologies for its third-party hardware maintenance services.

Park Place Technologies provided a comprehensive support solution that covered a wider range of legacy servers than the manufacturer at a substantially lower cost. This allowed the university to retain control of its equipment lifecycle, avoid costly capital expenditures on new servers, and support its vendor consolidation strategy. The results were significant cost savings and the mitigation of business risk, ensuring the uptime of vital applications like Microsoft Exchange and their web presence.
