Millennium Pharmacy Systems sought to improve efficiency and reduce costs through a lean IT model. Using VMware vSphere with Operations Management, they were able to immediately reduce resources being used by virtual machines that had been oversized, improving data center efficiency. Setup was quick and easy. Millennium can now more easily recognize and resolve issues, reducing downtime for end users. They have reduced IT capital expenditures by 20% by optimizing server usage.

1. With their client nursing
care facilities confronting
growing economic
pressures, Millennium
sought a lean IT service
and infrastructure model
that could better meet its
own needs, and produce
cost-efficiencies for
customers.
Through its ‘single pane of glass’
visibility into IT asset health,
vSphere with Operations
Management initially flagged every
one of Millennium’s virtual
machines as oversized. With this
information, they immediately
reduced their resources, improving
the efficiency of their entire data
center. Set up was easy—up and
running within the day.
Millennium IT can now
quickly recognize and
resolve issues,
reducing end-user impact,
and uses capacity
planning capabilities to
ensure server
optimization. They have
also reduced IT capital
expenditures
approximately 20% by not
buying as many servers.

“VMware has allowed
us to do more things
with less people...
It was almost jaw
dropping in terms of
the memory and
resources we would
get back by using
vSphere with
Operations
Management.”
