Cloudreach (UK) + Kempinski Hotels
• In 2010, the organization’s corporate IT department was using over 140 virtualized servers to run a broad range of operating systems.
• Kempinski Hotels chose Cloudreach, a Premier Consulting Partner in the AWS Partner Network (APN), to help the company migrate to the AWS Cloud and provide ongoing management, monitoring, and backup services.
• “We’re avoiding the cost of hardware and software refreshes and on-premises facilities. When we consider these savings as well as lower operational costs and improved staff productivity, Kempinski Hotels is reducing costs by roughly 40 percent over a five year period.”
