A co-operative serving utilities and broadband providers replaced end-of-life systems at eight sites and halved Oracle licensing costs.
The situation
NISC builds and supports systems for utility co-operatives and broadband providers. Eight member sites ran ageing, costly systems with single points of failure.
What they did
It deployed StorMagic SvSAN hyperconverged clusters on new Dell servers at each site.
The result
Oracle licensing costs fell by 50%, with lower upfront and yearly costs at every site.
Why it matters
Licensing is often tied to the hardware it runs on. The right-sized cluster can cut more than the hardware bill.
