The picture shows Rich with just a fraction of the servers he had haulded away to the junk yard. By virtualizing 102 of their 105 servers, Mechanics Bank is saving $1.6M in hard costs over 5 years with a payback period of under 9 months. These savings include items such as reduced hardware and administrative costs as well as power savings. In fact, as the AccessFlow and Mechanic’s staff were removing servers from the data center, the temperature started dropping due to the lack of BTUs to soak up the A/C. The teams had to put on coats!
