Customer Success - RetailFood retailer which operates in eight countries. The principal activity is the operation of food supermarkets.
Challenge :
Keep a small I.T. footprint in their stores, resiliency for maximum uptime to transact business, that would meet their needs today and ‘carry us 5 years down the road’
“Religious” preferences for HP compute, and by their own admission, “we’re going to recommend building a warehouse to house a table, and we know we’re overbuilding.”
Address how we would ‘segment duties’ if a Server Admin would need access to the UCS E-Series (perception is, ‘this would introduce complexity’).

Customer Success – Finance (Retail Banking)Commercial bank headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, Northrim Bank employs 250 people in 11 branches across 350 miles in southern Alaska.
Challenge :
Northrim wanted to upgrade the bank's legacy infrastructure to dramatically increase the speed of service at the bank's teller stations.
A slow circuit-based network created high latency problems that affected expensive third-party banking software applications that were very sensitive to bandwidth delay.
Several times a day, users encountered sluggish application response or program errors that required re-login or even rebooting the system, a frustrating and time-consuming occurrence.
