80 percent less space, 20 percent less power
NMB has been able to consolidate nine older servers
onto five new ones. The equivalent of a 42U rack is
now housed in 80 percent less space—in a 6U
HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure. “The new servers
run at 30 percent less power than the old ones,”
says Cook.

“We’re in the sweet spot for what Windows Essential
Business Server 2008 and HP BladeSystem can offer.
And we’ve gained greatly from the expertise of The
Full Circle.”—Simon Edwards, IT Manager, Newman

NMB has also deployed an HP StorageWorks All-in-
One SB600c Storage Blade in the c3000 enclosure
as a SAN. It replaces direct-attached storage in the
older servers. Now data can be backed up in seconds
using SAN snapshots and recovered in minutes,
compared to the hours it can take to get the right tape
and restore from it.

“The performance and capacity benefits of the
HP BladeSystem and EBS let NMB streamline
infrastructure and reduce complexity,” Cook says.
“With Microsoft SQL Server 2008, we’ll be able to
consolidate three SQL databases into one, reducing
licensing costs by thousands of pounds.”

Ninefold expansion of remote access
Also, remote access is simpler and more robust. “A
few years ago, less than 10 percent of the NMB
workforce was able to remotely access their systems,”
Cook comments. “Now with Windows Essential
Business Server on the HP BladeSystem, 90 percent
of the workforce can sign in to the corporate network
remotely and be productive—this is a real boost, and
one that could prove critical to the company in a
DR scenario.”

The new solution eliminates the costs of the company’s
complex VPN connection infrastructure and the staff
time it took to support, delivering helpful savings and
enabling the IT staff to work on more valuable tasks.
Connecting is far simpler for all. The Remote Web
Workplace feature in EBS allows users to easily and
securely access internal SharePoint sites and e-mail via
the Web. Administrators can also access the network
for server maintenance. Exchange 2007 also enables
NMB employees to connect with a broader choice
of mobile devices, including BlackBerrys, Windows

more consumer focused devices such as the Apple

employees can use enterprise applications without
needing to carry a laptop or find a PC,” Cook says.
