Blue Shield of California (Sun Alliance) Case Study

Blue Shield of California’s diverse, aging servers were no longer cost effective, unable to run new versions of software applications, and presented reliability issues for the company.

EDS and Sun teamed to provide a complete server consolidation package in just three months – creating a solution that reduced the number of servers from 10 to three, supported database transformation, and fully addressed application support issues.

As a result, Blue Shield received an immediate savings in operating costs. System performance increased two to three times, and solution run times cut by one third to one half.
