Merit Resources: Server Virtualization
In July of 2008, Alliance Technologies completed a server virtualization project with Merit Resources. Prior to the implementation, Merit was using eight physical servers to run their business. Alliance Technologies architected a virtualized environment running VMware to increase efficiency in hardware management and help reduce data center costs relating to storage and energy consumption.
By April 2009, Merit Resources had reduced their total number of physical servers from eight to four. During the preceding nine months, Merit experienced significant growth, and their server needs correspondingly increased. As a result of Alliance Technologies’ VMware installation, Merit’s four physical servers are currently running 43 virtualized servers.

YMCA of Greater Des Moines: Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing Project Highlights: YMCA of Greater Des Moines
Prior to switching to the Alliance cloud, the YMCA was running multiple servers out of each of their 10 branch offices. There was limited connectivity between locations, which became problematic as branch offices began sharing employees. Because office staff were only connected to the servers at their main location it made it difficult to access the applications and files they needed when they changed offices. By migrating to a centralized computing platform, delivered via a hosted cloud infrastructure, all staff can now share files and applications from one pool of resources, which they can access via the Internet.
