Florida-based credit union Grow Financial has selected computer technology firm Dell to modernise its IT infrastructure.
The financial firm utilises Dell PowerEdge servers and Dell KACE Appliances to provide enhanced service to its members in an efficient way while simultaneously managing risk.
Migrating to Dell’s storage applications has helped the credit union to reduce data storage maintenance costs by up to 50% while increasing storage performance by up to 30% compared with previous technologies, said Dell.
Dell Compellent’s thin provisioning doubles the credit union’s storage utilisation, enabling the company to benefit from its storage resources.
Grow Financial also realised capacity and cost benefits by consolidating its existing virtual servers using VMware vSphere and moving to 12G Dell Power Edge R720 and R910 rack-mounted servers.
Dell and Syscom Technologies helped Grow Financial architect and deploy an IT infrastructure that is flexible, reliable, compliant and secure.
A Dell KACE K1000 Virtual Management Appliance is used for help desk ticket tracking, change management, asset management and to automate software deployment, allowing Grow Financial to avoid hiring an additional full-time IT staff member to handle these tasks.
The credit union also deployed Dell Vostro and OptiPlex desktop computers and Dell Latitude, Inspiron and Vostro notebooks across the credit union’s headquarters and 18 branch locations.
