| Case Study - Acumen Group
Deploys Linux
The Challenge: Large end user
needed to migrate from a SCO UNIX platform to Red Hat Linux because of
a change in platform support by manufacturer.
Tom Sawyer, Director Technology
Services with Acumen Group (a long time DTR customer) was presented
with a pressing need to migrate one of his larger customers to a Linux
platform. Infor, the software provider, was no longer planning to
support the SCO platform and the change needed to be done right.
Obstacles to Success:
Reseller's relative inexperience with Linux as a platform and their
need to get it done right.
"We had installed Red Hat once before
but were concerned about deploying a server of this size. We needed
someone to partner with - someone to help us provide our customer with
the best solution." Tom turned to DTR.
Formula for Success: Partner
with DTR to provide the server solution customized to match the user's
needs.
"With DTR's help, we were able to get
the customer what they wanted easily and quickly. The Intel server
they built has 4 dual-core processors and the performance is
wonderful. The integration and support we received from DTR helped us
make the installation a successful one. This new server gives the
customer everything they need and plenty of room for growth." |
