Jun 13, 2006 : Illinois Center Uses VMware Software

📅 June 13, 2006 - The Kane County, Illinois data center is deploying EqualLogic's (equallogic.com) PS Series storage arrays with VMware's new native-iSCSI-enabled virtual server software, VMware Infrastructure 3, to create a cost-effective and disaster-proof virtual desktop environment.

EqualLogic's PS Series SAN serves as the foundation for a number of Kane County initiatives, including server consolidation, virtualized desktops and centralized document management. Kane County provides complete government services including general administration, public health, education, law enforcement, judicial system and tax collection, with over 480,000 residents and 1,452 employees.

Kane County's Technology Department has completely refurbished the county's IT environment in the last four years by using progressive technology to address its constrained budget cycle, limited data space and significant staffing cost concerns. Kane County took a creative approach by implementing a virtual desktop infrastructure.

"Our vision was to 'do more with less' by using self-managing technology that would take the pressure off of our IT staff and our limited budget," says David Siles, CTO for Kane County. "The EqualLogic iSCSI SAN allowed us to do that by eliminating hours from our storage management processes with its built in intelligence and automation - while providing a consolidated storage platform with all the enterprise features we need at a fraction of the cost of a Fibre Channel SAN."
