HP solves UMCG's email problems with an upgrade to Exchange 2010

 A new HP case study with the customer University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) in the Netherlands is now available on this LINK

Objective

Streamline email communication, cut costs  and simplify system management

Approach

Issued tenders to hardware vendors who could provide a suitable platform and Direct Attached Storage (DAS) for Microsoft® Exchange 2010

IT improvements

 • Introduced DAS for easy management,  cost-savings and greater flexibility

• Achieved dramatic improvements in email performance, reducing search times from  30 seconds to just one or two, thereby improving  staff productivity

• Enabled larger mailboxes to be provided for high-end users, enabling them to send and receive larger files and so work more efficiently

• Allowed decommissioning of unwieldy  Personal Storage Table (PST) files to simplify  system administration
