ABSTRACT:
Watch this videocast to learn how virtualization has been a major key to the success of everyone's favorite discount travel site as Priceline.com has continued to grow its competitive edge in the face of lean economic times.

In the current economic climate, more and more customers have been turning to Priceline.com for the best possible travel deals on the Web-meaning more traffic, increased unit volume, and all the technology challenges that come with it. These lean economic times have also meant that ROI within the organization has never been more important, which is why Priceline.com-one of the first E-commerce players to adopt virtualization-is continually seeking new ways to remain at the forefront of technology innovation while "following the money."

In this videocast, Priceline.com CIO Ron Rose explains what is so innovative about Pricline.com's datacenter infrastructure and how virtualization has enabled the travel giant to not only survive, but to thrive by delivering benefits such as:

  • 50% reduction in Total Cost of Data vs. traditional storage
  • 50% datacenter storage footprint reduction
  • 400% expansion in storage capacity with zero administration headcount increase
  • Fast "On demand" delivery of servers and storage.
