Tate & Lyle Sugar's Refining Operations Step into the Cloud with Virtustream and IBM
Flexibility and Cost-efficiency Drive Integrated Cloud Deployment Following Domino Sugar's Strategic Acquisition
London - 13th April 2011 - Virtustream Inc. today announced an expanded cloud services agreement with Domino Sugar to include provision of services to its European operations, Tate & Lyle Sugars Limited.
Virtustream has successfully migrated the acquired systems directly onto its existing secure multi-tenanted private cloud.
The enterprise cloud runs on the Virtustream xStream platform, from which Domino Sugar manages, maintains and scales its solution requirements while benefiting from flexible services and lower operating costs. "By moving the infrastructure and applications directly onto the xStream enterprise cloud, we were able to leverage the flexibility and interoperability of the cloud to consolidate these systems into our own environment more efficiently" said Don Whittington, Chief Information Officer, Domino Sugar, and Chairperson of America's SAP Users Group (ASUG) CIO Council. "The solution easily accommodated our need to commission temporary resources, a common requirement during the integration and IT migration process, without us being required to commit to long term costs".
IBM and Virtustream have recently expanded their strategic collaboration iin the EMEA region. Under the new agreement, Virtustream will become one of the first IBM Business Partners where with IBM, Virtusteam will co-sell and co-deliver cloud solutions specifically designed for the needs of midmarket clients in the UK. Virtustream is also a part of IBM's Global Partner Advisory Council.

The 7 Deadly Sins of Virtualization
By now, the benefits of a virtualized infrastructure are well known. Reduced hardware expenditures,
decreased power and cooling in the datacenter, increased ROI, increased flexibility and
responsiveness by IT are all benefits of virtualization. In addition, you have made a significant investment to virtualize your corporate IT infrastructure (storage, network, server, etc.). Virtualization has enhanced policies/procedures, strategic direction, interaction with various business stakeholders, and served as an enablementmechanism. But what happens when the virtualized
infrastructure is not living up to expectations?

Leveraging Virtualisation for a Competitive Edge
Businesses nowadays face many pressures to provide, implement and manage best practice solutions to leverage optimal value within the business.Whether a business is a Tier 1Global player
or Tier 4 regional business, the pressures remain the same. In order to apply these industry best practices, many businesses have invested in Best of Breed IT solutions, which, often demand to be implemented on separate physical servers and disk arrays, because they either run on different operating platforms, or they demand exclusive processor or disk usage. The result, though not the business’ fault, is a disparate array of servers, disks and operating systems across single or multiple locations which give rise to increasing IT and IT infrastructure management issues and (ever spiraling proportionate costs).
