One of Europe’s largest entertainment companies, Merlin Entertainment recently upgraded its data center with Simplivity Hyperconverged infrastructures and has gained significant efficiency right after.
After this revolutionary jump to Simplivity, the company has since dramatically reduced its capital and operational expenses (CAPEX and OPEX), while still reaping the benefits of high performance and availability for its business-critical applications. Merlin projects a three-year total cost of ownership (TCO) saving for its new theme parks and attractions, compared to alternative solutions, of 25-percent.
The GPB 1.2 billion-worth organization is the largest European-based entertainment company. Globally, Merlin operates 110 attractions in 23 countries. Some of the most renowned and famous resort theme parks and midway attractions in the world are operated by Merlin, including Legoland resorts, Madame Tussauds, and Sea Life aquariums, among others.
Merlin Entertainment enlisted Simplivity to streamline operations, simplify management, and free up its IT team to work on more innovative and business-progressing initiatives. It supports its revenue-critical retail systems, ticketing and admission systems, hotel management systems, and core IT services.
SimpliVity is a hyperconverged infrastructure provider to combine all the functionality of an entire data center stack below the hypervisor—including compute, storage, network switching, replication, backup, and more—onto industry-standard x86 hardware. The company was founded on the belief that modern data centers need to be greatly simplified in order to function at the highest level of performance and efficiency, and deliver the greatest economical value to businesses.
