Just down the road from our Raleigh headquarters, North Carolina State University was facing a familiar IT challenge: fragmented infrastructure, volatile licensing costs and skill silos. When their virtualization vendor's pricing model changed, IT Manager Shawn Taylor knew a patchwork fix wouldn't be enough.

Today, Shawn's team is replacing complexity with consistency, and silos with shared collaboration, and this partnership is helping lay the groundwork for an IT future that's as agile as it is sustainable.
