Paul Hastings Case Study: Raising the Bar
Case Study: Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 family
Enterprise Server Virtualization Energy
Efficiency
Leading law firm reduces risks and carbon footprint with Intel® Xeon® processor X5670
Attorneys strive to reduce risk for their clients, so it makes sense that Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP (Paul Hastings), a top global law firm, would make risk mitigation a cornerstone of its IT strategy. Searl Tate, director of engineering at Paul Hastings, says simplifying the firm’s server and storage infrastructure with the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 family helps avoid service interruptions and safeguard revenue streams while contributing to a 57 percent reduction in energy consumption.
CHALLENGE
• Modernize the data center for growth and sustainability. With the firm steadily growing, Paul Hastings’ IT leaders wanted to simplify their distributed infrastructure, increase density, and reduce energy consumption.
SOLUTION
• Simplify with standard IT building blocks. Paul Hastings standardizes on HP ProLiant* C7000 chassis, BL460c blades with dual-socket, six-core Intel® Xeon® processors X5670, Microsoft Windows* Server 2008, and VMware vSphere* ESX4.1. The firm also relies on Intel Xeon processor-based storage and networking technologies from Cisco, NetApp, and Riverbed Technologies.
Impact:
• Dense, cost-effective infrastructure. Using its standards-based building blocks, Paul Hastings has virtualized 80 percent of its infrastructure across the enterprise and opened a state-of-the-art, legacy-free production facility that reduces administrative costs and floor space requirements.
• Nonstop service. The simplified infrastructure increases productivity, lowers risk, and protects revenue streams by delivering excellent performance and uninterrupted access to essential software.
• Greener enterprise. Virtualization and energy-efficient data center technologies are helping Paul Hastings reduce energy consumption by 57 percent and utility costs by an estimated USD 200,000 annually.
