RackForce was the first hosting service provider to bring Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 technology to market. However, with hundreds of customers and an array of server nodes, managing the company's growing virtual environment was a challenge. Enterprise-ready and easy to administer, Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager lets RackForce centralize and vastly improve virtual machine management. The company can streamline server management and maintain an average of four customers to each physical server, rather than the one-to-one ratio previously supported. System Center Virtual Machine Manager enables RackForce to easily identify which servers have capacity for additional workload, and it significantly simplifies physical to virtual machine migrations. RackForce expects to be able to cut maintenance and provisioning time in half with System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
