Mini Case Study 3.6

The Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) is using virtualisation not only to cut hardware costs, but 

also to recover quickly from systems failures and maintain business continuity. The ATL is an independent

registered trade union and professional association representing approximately 160,000 teachers, lecturers 

and support staff in maintained and independent nurseries, schools, sixth forms, and tertiary and further 

education colleges in the UK.

Ann Raimondo, head of information technology at ATL, is responsible for managing the IT infrastruc-

ture for the  ever-  expanding organisation, including deploying equipment, IT support and training for its 

Virtualisation cuts costs and improves service

Part 1  Introduction

150 employees. In addition to offices in London, Belfast and Cardiff, the ATL has a large volunteer base of 

remote workers throughout the UK who require IT systems and support. In her role, Raimondo was faced 

with the following challenges:

● 

Fifty per cent of the available server storage space was not utilised.



● 

 Seventy-  two per cent of the storage space purchased was not being used.

● 

Storage space could not be reallocated to other systems in need of additional storage.



● 

Data were physically bound to a server, so if corruption occurred to the operating system or applications, 

the data on physical drives could not be reattached easily to another server and would need to be restored 

from back-up.

The implementation resulted in the following benefits:

● 

Server consolidation. ATL consolidated from 22 servers to 11, reducing hardware requirements and costs 



by 50 per cent.

● 

Flexibility and responsiveness. Prior to bringing in ESX Server, deploying a new server would require 



approximately three weeks for sourcing, ordering and implementing hardware. With VMware virtual infra-

structure, this same process takes less than one hour.

● 

Lowered the cost of disaster recovery. The hardware independence of VMware virtual infrastructure helps 



mitigate failures caused by hardware and enables recovery from a disaster in a matter of minutes, matching 

and improving on user downtime expectations.
