Results
• “If we hadn’t gone with PlateSpin, it would have taken a team of 25 half a year to build all the applications in the new data center, an estimated cost of over EUR 3 million.
• With PlateSpin, we were able to migrate all of our servers in one month with a team of less than eight people.
• The PlateSpin solution brings a high return of investment. In retrospect, after seeing the time and cost savings, we would have been willing to pay a lot more for the PlateSpin solution.”
