In the next few days, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) will officially close down its 5,000 square foot computer room as part of the effort to comply with a statewide IT consolidation initiative mandated by AB 2408 (Chapter 404, 2010). CDCR started with 70 racks and 650 servers, now there are only 7 racks.

According to Joe Panora, the director of the Division of Enterprise Information Services at CDCR, the department reduced its computer room power consumption by nearly 80 percent. This was accomplished by consolidating and eliminating redundant servers, virtualizing the servers that remained and migrating those services to a state of the art Data Center at Office of Technology Services (OTech).

“When it was all done, the closing down of our computer room resulted in us being able to gain economies of scale and manage costs more effectively through standardization and virtualization,” Panora said in an interview with Techwire.net.
