The Carphone Warehouse
Since 2006, The Carphone Warehouse has invested aggressively in new data centers for production and non-production systems and adopted virtualisation across the technology spectrum, standardising on VMWare for its Windows and Linux servers and IBM System p APV (advanced power virtualisation) systems for the IBM AIX environment. It has also embraced ITIL and is moving towards accreditation.
The world's largest independent retailer of mobile phones and services, with 2,100 stores in 11 countries, Carphone Warehouse has implemented EMS for full life cycle IT process automation; Enigmatec Automated Disaster Recovery (ADR) for managing fail over to the disaster recovery site; and Enigmatec Virtual Orchestrator (EVO) for provisioning virtual machines requested through a self-service portal.
Simon Post, CTO, The Carphone Warehouse: "This is the most exciting software that I have seen in many years. It's like ERP for IT which will improve the utilisation and efficiency of IT equipment and operations staff throughout the IT life cycle and make sure that IT is better aligned to the business."
