Oregon revamps data centers

摘要

The state of Oregon is embarking on a data center consolidation and virtualization project that officials say will save $10 million to $12 million per year. The project, which costs $43 million,began in 2005 with the construction of a new data center in Salem, the state capital, in which 11 state agency data centers serving 45,000 employees will be consolidated. The project is scheduled to conclude in June 2009 with a new Gigabit Ethernet backbone and virtual circuits replacing a frame relay network to support new applications and a converged infrastructure.
