ROI Case Study: Baldwin-Wallace College
To attract a new generation of tech-savvy
students and faculty, Baldwin-Wallace
College in Berea, Ohio, has made IT
a top priority. But like most colleges,
Baldwin-Wallace is facing tighter budgets,
forcing administrators to find ways to
stretch the college’s IT dollars. So after
years of adding servers and storage
hardware (as well as complexity and costs)
to keep up with demand, the college
changed its course and invested
in an initiative to virtualize and consolidate
its sprawling computing and storage
infrastructure.
Matt Peeling, chief of Information and Telecommunications, Mosaic Community Services, discusses virtualizing Microsoft® applications, reducing storage usage by 35%, and decreasing backup and recovery time from days to minutes.
