Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) Case Study

Based in New Hampshire, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) began using server virtualization three years ago to curb server proliferation and rising electrical costs. DHMC decided to move its virtualization infrastructure to the Windows Server® 2008 operating system with Hyper-V™ technology, using Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 to manage its server landscape.

This case study will demonstrate how DHMC was able to realize ROI by implementing 5 virtual machines on a physical host and greatly the reduce the Total Cost of Ownership by implementing Hyper-V technology on HP ProLiant servers based on the AMD architecture.
