Virtual Iron has been deployed by a number of higher ed institutions to streamline their IT infrastructure, reduce power and cooling and support business continuity efforts.

One very recent example is the Computer Science Department at UMass Lowell. This group is leveraging Virtual Iron to create a more flexible IT infrastructure and to meet the increasing academic/research computing needs of its faculty and students. Virtual Iron provides the department’s IT group with a reliable and cost-effective server virtualization platform that delivers a number of important current and future benefits including:
- 4 to 1 server consolidation ratios
- Reductions in power and cooling to support its green computing efforts
- Optimization of both its x86 server and desktop computing environment
- Cost-effective high availability and disaster recovery
- A streamlined test and development process
- Fast and easy recoverability in event of failure
