Fabris Lane to be Virtualised

AssurIT have been working with Fabris Lane, the UK's largest eyewear Company, over the last few month to provide guidance on how to reduce operational costs associated with their IT Infrastructure. The brief was all encompassing and covered everything from Enduser Desktops, Server Estates, LAN access and their existing tape backup processes.

Fabris Lane's overall goal was cost reduction however they also needed to address their passion for carbon offsetting with a lower footprint through energy efficiencies.

AssurIT will achieve both these goals with virtualisation of their Desktops and Server Estates using IBM hardware and AssurIT's expertise, following an order placed in July. This reflects a substantial commitment from Fabris Lane to refresh the whole of their IT infrastructure and strengthened their internal systems with new technology.
