Florida's fourth largest city, St. Petersburg is a bustling center of commerce on the state's west coast and an integral part of the fast-growing Tampa Bay metropolitan area. After a migration to Microsoft Windows 2000, the city of St. Petersburg wanted to streamline network administration, avoid disruptions from running out of server storage space, and beef up security. BindView solutions from Symantec gave the city centralized administration as well as a heightened security and compliance profile. Now the city's IT staff spends much less time on administrative tasks and more time on strategic projects.
