National City has experienced tremendous growth over the past few years. With nearly 100 new discretionary line-of-business projects each year - each effort requiring at least three servers, for test, quality verification, and production - the bank needed to address hardware acquisition, server management, and data center costs. To curb server proliferation, National City piloted Microsoft Virtual Server 2005, running in conjunction with Microsoft Windows Server 2003. Based on the results, National City expects to reduce server purchases by at least 90 servers, saving the company a significant amount of money over the next three years.
