Locaweb Prepares Future with Intel® Xeon® Processors 5500 Series
Locaweb, founded in 1998, is a pioneer and leader in IT services in Brazil. The company has over 196,000 clients and 442,000 hosted domains, apart from partnerships with over 14,000 developers.
Locaweb’s services deal with the common user up to big corporations through three business verticals: INTERNET, that offers hosting services, domain registrations, reseller hosting, outsourcing solutions for email, e-commerce and infrastructure for audio and video streaming; DATA CENTER, that offers solutions on cloud computing, dedicated servers, and vault room as well as specialized IT outsourcing services. The department counts on over 3,000 clients of companies of all sizes; COMMUNICATION, which is turned to VoIP telephone services through virtual PAB services, and a virtual call center, currently having over 2,900 extension lines installed.
Scenario
Before expanding their business strongly, Locaweb had a smaller physical environment and a computer area that was heterogeneous and legacy. “In 2004, we worked with Pentium 4 and today we are using the Intel Xeon 5520 Low Voltage processor, part of the Intel Xeon 5500 Series. Each year we are up-to-date with Intel’s innovations, updating our servers in order to always have the newest technology and offer what is best for our clients. It cannot be any different in our business. We are always ahead.” states André Tellini, Locaweb Dedicated Services manager.
Aside from that, there was a limitation of energy consumption in the old building. “We noticed that, for the new demands, it was necessary to place more clients on one computer, so we arrived to the concept of virtualization; all of this is being related to performance and accomplishment”, tells Tellini.
In the corporate sector, the company counts on an outsourcing division. This unit responds to big clients and many times counts on servers with greater capacity and processing power, in customized projects. “It was born out of our strategy to expand our business into this segment. The initiative had already predicted the future growth for the corporate market.” declares Guilherme Mazzola, Locaweb Brand Development manager.
Given the circumstances, Locaweb caught a glimpse of growth necessities for Corporate Services as well as for retail. While being an Intel user, the company always at the forefront was the first national company in its segment to adopt the Intel® Xeon® 5500 Series processor. The new processors also have functions based on energy efficiency, one of the main concerns of the company.
