One of the most arduous parts of business travel is getting the trips approved, booked and then, finally getting paid back through your expense reports.
Concur is a leading provider of integrated travel and expense management solutions for businesses and they chose HP ProLiant servers based on AMD Opteron? processors to help consolidate their IT environment.
Concur needed to drive more performance out of less hardware, and obviously virtualization is a great way for businesses to get more out of their IT investments.? Through the use of both VMware VSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V software, Concur was able to reduce their server footprint and get better utilization in their data center. Initially they started with a few servers, and eventually worked their way up to 70% of their environment virtualized.? And according to their statements, Concur expects to get to 80 or 90% virtualized in the future.
Some of the improvements that they saw included reducing the number of servers by 40%, making it easier to manage their environment. In addition, the virtualized environment allows them to increase data by 30% but still maintain the same number of virtualized host systems. Instead of taking four weeks to deploy a new server, they can now do it in 6 hours, helping IT react more quickly to the needs of the business.
All of this resulted in a 10% reduction in their total cost of ownership, a clear business benefit that anyone, especially in these difficult times, can appreciate.

Now, if someone could just figure out how to beam me from Austin to Tokyo, I?d be so appreciative.?
