Case Study: Sesame Workshop achieves major IT cost savings and server consolidation with SUSE

Sesame Workshop - Customer Case Study

Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, needed a way to manage a growing IT environment with a small staff and limited budget. As it tracked leased desktops, laptops, and servers and ran nearly 50 high-traffic websites, Sesame Workshop turned to Suse products including SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and ZENworks Asset Management to control costs and simplify inventory management.

Suse helped Sesame Workshop streamline asset tracking, automate software deployment, and move its web infrastructure to an open platform. The results included a 70% cut in inventory administration time, 80% web server consolidation, 30% lower hardware costs, and an open web environment that cost 85% less than a proprietary alternative, contributing to an 18% reduction in overall IT budget.
