Sporton International is a mobile communications certification company in Taiwan. Sporton had an overcrowded data center, incurring rising electricity and cooling costs for underutilized servers. Using manual provisioning and administration processes, IT employees were unable to respond quickly to requests from Sporton's developers for test environments. All that changed when Sporton deployed a virtualization solution with the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V technology. Sporton virtualized servers in the production environment, increasing performance and reliability while saving 70 percent in server costs and improving server utilization up to 60 percent. IT staff use Hyper-V to provision servers in minutes and perform quick migration of virtual machines for robust business continuity - enhancements that are turning Sporton's IT department into a business enabler instead of a cost center.
