Papa Gino's: Serving Up Efficiency
Case Study: Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series and Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series
Intel® Xeon® processors help Papa Gino’s Inc. virtualize its data center, enhancing business agility, increasing efficiency, and saving USD 58,000 per year. What began as a small Boston pizzeria nearly 50 years ago is today a booming business that serves more than 13 million guests per year in 370 restaurants throughout the northeastern United States. For Papa Gino’s Pizzeria and D’Angelo Grilled Sandwiches, technology plays a central role in the company’s continued success—the company uses IT for everything from offering online ordering to running business intelligence applications. When it was time to refresh the data center, the IT group created a virtualized environment with new servers based on Intel® Xeon® processors. Virtualization with Intel processors has helped consolidate hardware, reduce power consumption, and enhance IT flexibility while saving the company more than USD 58,000 per year.
CHALLENGES
• Consolidate hardware and reduce energy consumption. Decrease the number of physical servers and reduce the energy needed for power and cooling.
• Cut costs. Minimize the costs of hardware acquisition, power, cooling, and maintenance while still supporting additional IT growth.
• Increase flexibility. Refresh aging servers with a more flexible infrastructure that helps IT respond quickly to changing business needs.
SOLUTION
• Dell servers with Intel® Xeon® processors. The IT group created a virtualized environment running VMware vSphere* software on Dell PowerEdge* servers equipped with the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series. Future acquisitions will include the Intel Xeon processor 5600 series.
