The Challenge: Consolidate Servers and Storage, Migrate from a
Mainframe, and Increase Flexibility
Mainframe, and Increase Flexibility
Bernalillo County, located in central New Mexico, consists of an area of nearly
1,200 square miles and over 556,678 residents. The City of Albuquerque lies
within the county. The county makes sophisticated use of technology, which
includes a web site that offers a variety of services, such as updating residents
about road construction, and allowing them to search though the Assessor’s
records. In addition, the county uses technologies such as geographic informa-
tion systems (GIS) for its public safety and public works departments.

The county was looking to upgrade its server and storage infrastructure in order
to operate more efficiently, and provide additional services to county residents.

It was looking for a solution that would accomplish the following:
• Consolidate servers. The county was running dozens of servers, each of
which ran a small application, such as a GIS application for monitoring fueling
for the public works department, or a front-end interface to Oracle databases
used by the police department for checking on outstanding warrants. The
servers were underutilized, with less than 5% CPU use, and were at the ends
of their life cycles. The county was looking to consolidate them.

expensive. Bernalillo County wanted to reduce support and maintenance
costs, and conserve on power and cooling.
costs, and conserve on power and cooling.
• Deploy servers more quickly. It took approximately a month from the time a
new server was requested until the time the server was deployed. Bernalillo
County was looking for a way to reduce that time significantly, so it could
more easily and quickly roll out servers and applications.

• Migrate from a mainframe to launch an Enterprise Resources Planning
(ERP) application. Bernalillo County shared an IBM MP3000 7060-H30
mainframe with the City of Albuquerque, on which the county ran financial
applications for most of the county’s business. The city was moving off of the
mainframe, and Bernalillo County decided that it would make the move as
well, and launch an SAP ERP application on industry-standard servers.

easily managed. It was looking for a highly scalable, high-performing storage
solution.

“
When the migration from the
mainframe to HP servers is
complete, we expect to see
substantial benefits with the new
ERP system. We will no longer
have to write custom interfaces,
and it will take us less time to
integrate new features.
