Using an HP ProLiant BL35p Server Blades and four ProLiant BL685c Servers  
in concert with HP Integrity Virtual machines to consolidate HP-UX servers,  
and VMware virtualization software to consolidate Windows and Linux servers,  
Bernalillo County has to date been able to reduce the number of physical servers  
that run vital applications from 100 down to 40, and will consolidate even 
further in the coming months. The county has saved on maintenance time and 
costs, because it can now maintain fewer servers. Gruen estimates that the 
county has been able to reduce maintenance needs by 15%.

The server consolidation project offers other financial benefits as well. When 
the project is finished, Gruen estimates that power and cooling costs will be 
reduced by 40%. In addition, because of the way that the county has licensed 
its Windows-based servers on the HP BladeSystem environment, the county has 
been able to save approximately $10,000 to $15,000 a year in licensing costs.

Using HP servers in a virtualized environment, Bernalillo County can now deploy 
new applications and services requiring servers far more quickly than previously. 
Rather than having to go through a procurement process, waiting for delivery, 
and then physically deploying a server, which used to take a month, it can now 
build and deploy a virtualized server in two hours.

With virtualized servers and Integrity Virtual Machines, the county is creating  
virtual servers to perform source code control for its IT department. If the 
county did not use the HP BladeSystem and virtualized servers, it would need 
to buy additional hardware, storage and software licenses. By not having to 
purchase the additional hardware and software, it has saved $7,000.

during the course of the consolidation project, the county has also found that 
the virtualized servers offer a performance boost, and applications now run 
more quickly than they did previously.

Bernalillo County is in the midst of moving from a mainframe to HP servers for 
its ERP project. So far, the development and QA portions of the mainframe 
have been replaced with four ProLiant BL685c Server Blades running VMware. 
It is hosting SAP on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft SQL Server 
2005. When the project is finished, the rest of the SAP ERP application, the 
county’s Web portal, SAP Business Intelligence data warehouse, and customer 
relationship management (CRM) applications will all run on HP servers.

By migrating off the mainframe and to HP servers, the county will improve its 
procurement process, integrate disparate systems for which it previously had 
to write custom interfaces, and improve flexibility. There will be fewer vendors 
involved in the ERP system, and as a result, the system will run more smoothly. It 
will take less time to integrate new features and systems, and update applications.

In addition, it has become increasingly difficult to find programmers with an 
expertise in mainframe systems, and it will be easier for the county to find  
programmers to work on the ERP system. The county also expects to see 
improvements in application performance.

  As a result of the HP solutions, 

Bernalillo County has improved 
the reliability of its applications, 
consolidated servers, reduced 
costs, cut maintenance costs, sim-
plified server maintenance, and 
can deploy new servers far more 
quickly. By migrating from the 
mainframe, it will improve perfor-
mance, and increase applications 
simplicity and flexibility. The new 
EVA storage gives the county a 
more flexible storage infrastruc-
ture, allows it to build a disaster 
recovery plan, and will lead to a 
projected, cumulative five-year 
net benefit of $2,223,044.
