A subsidiary of a worldwide real estate management firm needed to consolidate colocation facilities with a goal to leverage Azure, increase network speeds, and create return on investment (ROI). However, there were still were some local on-site computing needs.
The original plan to address local on-site needs was a system of two Dell VRTX Hyper- converged server blades with 16 usable cores even if one of the servers failed.
