INX Inc., announced today that it has been awarded a $500,000 contract by National Western Life Insurance Company to Virtualize their Data Center.

National Western Life Insurance Company (NWLIC) recently undertook a data center refresh project that will replace and virtualize existing servers and consolidate resources. The project will produce a substantial ROI created by leveraging virtualization technology to reduce costs and reap the benefits of increased efficiency and performance. NWLIC chose INX to design and deploy the project.

The NWLIC project is a turnkey solution that was designed to use VMware ESX hosts on Dell servers with an Equalogic storage array. VMware’s Site Recovery Manager was used to create a disaster recovery plan housed in a separate building. Included in this project are infrastructure and fiber upgrades using Cisco Systems technology and the integration of new UPS systems from Tripplite.

Marc Hemann, NWLIC Network Manager, commented, “For us, INX is a single comprehensive organization that we can count on to deliver every aspect of our projects. Their ability to take our vision and turn it into a deliverable that could be deployed efficiently and effectively was invaluable.”

“The growth of our infrastructure and data center expertise coupled with our delivery framework has propelled INX from a company that delivers point products to an organization that takes a customer’s need and develops a roadmap to deliver a comprehensive solution,” said Don Smith, Regional VP, INX.

INX was contracted to design and implement the project. INX’s Strategic Delivery Framework was utilized as best practices for project design and scope.

The project is valued at approximately $500,000 in revenue and is estimated to be completed in June 2009.
