Fordway and Brent Council have implemented a virtualised desktop infrastructure which has reduced power consumption by more than 80%, saving money on electricity costs and significantly reducing the council's carbon footprint. The solution supports flexible working for council staff, including home working and hotdesking, and enables the IT team to provide a better service for users while improving data security. The new infrastructure is one of the many environmentally friendly features of the council's new civic centre, which has been recognised as the greenest public building in the UK.
When the SAN at University Hospitals Coventry & Warwick NHS Trust reached the end of life, the Trust chose Fordway to design and install a new scalable solution, which would consolidate storage from across the Trust, provide a platform for a new PACS implementation and support future growth. The new storage solution delivers better availability and resilience and provides a flexible platform for future developments.
When the SANs at building services company Gratte Brothers reached capacity, the company chose Fordway to help them implement innovative flash storage which has significantly improved performance and provided greater visibility to help the company plan for the future.
