Quebecor World is one of the largest commercial printing companies in the world. The Canadian based company, now owned by Quad/Graphics, decided a few years ago to move all of its servers from Illinois to Montreal, Canada.

Instead of putting the servers on a truck, they created virtual servers and ported them to Montreal.

It worked out so well they decided to further explore new ways they could further leverage a virtual environment.

The results? Server count dropped by 90%.

The demanding throughput requirements of large databases and transactional applications requires better virtual machine performance than previous generations.

Intel and VMware are delivering an enterprise virtualization platform that can handle the most extreme workloads. With Intel Intel Xeon processor and VMWare vSphere, most critical mission-critical applications can be scaled with consolidation goals met across the data center.
