Virtualisation
How do you use less energy, without compromising the experience?
Like all Grand Slam sites, the Australian Open must meet the expectations of millions of fans who flood the site at tournament time - but without the year-round expense of a vast infrastructure. To complement the existing systems, IBM designed and implements a virtualisation solution over geographically dispersed sites. By virtualising them as one during the tournament, they easily handle the huge peaks in traffic.
