The province of Castilla-La Mancha is famous as the erstwhile stomping ground of the most famous hero of Spanish literature, Don Quixote, and is one of the largest autonomous regions in the country, with an area of almost 80,000 km2. Including its capital city, Toledo, the region has five urban areas, with the rest of its two-million-strong population scattered across its vast rural landscape. In fact, it is the most sparsely populated part of Spain, presenting a significant logistical challenge for the 68,000 employees of the regional government, which is responsible for delivering administrative, healthcare, and education services to all inhabitant.
Challenges
• Better services. Boost diversity of government services and make them available to inhabitants across the region
• Multi-departmental collaboration. Enable government departments to share resources for better cost and energy efficiency
• Improve performance. Ensure shared IT environment can support high user demand and varied service portfolio
Solutions
• Virtual platform. Shared cloud platform built on a virtual computing environment (VCE) from Intel, Cisco, and others
• Consolidated architecture. 16 Cisco B200 M2* blade servers, powered by two Intel® Xeon® processors 5650, each support 70 virtual machines
• High performance. Virtualization-friendly features of Intel® technology optimize performance
of the new system in real time
Impact
• Reduced costs. 48 data center sites consolidated into two, driving expected savings of EUR 400,000 (USD 550,000)
• Simpler management. New applications can be provisioned in eight minutes instead of days or weeks
• New services. Significant new projects are now possible – beginning with Papás 2.0* education portal, which already has over 7,000 users.
