- Location
- Ashburn, Va.
- Coolest current project:
- We recently consolidated our tier-one technical support services and operations into one IT support center in order to provide the university community with a central place to request technical support. Students, staff and faculty members will now be able to access general technology support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
- Quick ROI project:
- Virtualizing our server farm has allowed for the most energy-efficiency impact. Virtualization has lowered business-related costs in energy, server consolidation and support personnel, and it has dramatically reduced our carbon footprint by lowering energy usage. It has also improved our efficiency and consistency in service deployments and recoveries.
