Case Study: GH Metal Solutions eliminates print servers and downtime across 14 locations with PrinterLogic

Simplifying Printing Across 14 Locations Nationwide by Eliminating Print Servers: GH Metal Solutions Eradicates Downtime in a Virtualized Environment

GH Metal Solutions, a national metal fabricator with 14 locations and a 200,000 sq. ft. headquarters, was struggling with a distributed print environment that relied on multiple print servers. Frequent server downtime in their VMware environment, high help-desk volume for printer installs, and a lack of centralized reporting were driving up IT costs and harming productivity.

GH Metal Solutions deployed PrinterLogic’s web-based solution to eliminate all print servers, standardize direct IP printing, and run smoothly in their virtual environment. The deployment enabled self-service printer installs across offices and Active Directory domains, cut downtime and support calls, and provided auditing and reporting for better cost control — all running on a small virtual appliance.
