National Australia Bank (NAB) Group is a leading financial services organization with operations in multiple countries. Geographic dispersal of its offices has slowed regional application deployment in the Australian division, the bank's largest business group. NAB sought to both simplify deployment and maximize the efficiency of its low-bandwidth wide area network. The bank also wanted to consolidate its IT infrastructure to help meet corporate goals for reducing power consumption. In response, NAB with Microsoft partner Avanade, is deploying Windows Server 2008. The bank will use new features to improve deployment, and employees will have more reliable access to applications and data. In addition, NAB plans to take advantage of Windows Server 2008 technology to consolidate server hardware.
