STER THAN ALL-

• Over 15,000 developers globally, over 1,000 projects in

development at any point in time

• 5-6 years ago we started a significant global expansion

• With expansion came IT infrastructure growth – servers,

network, and storage

• To be economically agile, we went with mid-range systems

expecting better costs but resigned to less performance and

scalability

Amdocs is growing at a digital speed…

STER THAN ALL-

• Consolidation is possible when you have a solution that also has high

performance and high availability

• Seamless VMware integration is critical to making a rapid, successful

transition between platforms (along with experienced professional

services)

Capacity on Demand makes that easier than ever.
