MRW

Industry: Logistics / Transportation and Parcel Delivery

Technology: Microsoft SQL Server

From hundreds of servers to an agile infrastructure: efficiency and cost savings for MRW.

MRW, a leading company in the logistics and parcel delivery sector in Spain, operated a fragmented infrastructure consisting of hundreds of SQL Server instances running different versions, many of them business-critical and suffering from degraded performance. The lack of visibility into the actual value and usage of each server generated significant hardware and licensing costs. MRW needed a technology partner capable of ensuring 24/7 operational stability while executing an ambitious consolidation strategy.

Customer challenges

MRW managed hundreds of SQL Server instances across different versions, many with performance issues and limited visibility into their actual business value.

The lack of a centralized inventory made it difficult to identify which servers were still required, resulting in unnecessary licensing and infrastructure costs, as well as operational risks associated with outdated environments.

Partner solution

Aleson ITC assumed full administration of the SQL Server environment under a 24/7 support model while designing and executing a consolidation strategy.

01
Comprehensive audit and inventory of all SQL Server instances to assess business criticality and actual usage.
02
Continuous performance optimization of critical production environments.
03
Design and execution of a consolidation project to reduce the infrastructure to a few dozen servers.
04
SQL Server license optimization through the removal of redundant and underused instances.

Customer benefits

MRW now has complete visibility into its database infrastructure, with a clear understanding of the status and workload of every server.

The ongoing consolidation initiative is delivering significant savings in hardware and licensing costs while simplifying day-to-day operations and reducing technology risk. Continuous support ensures the availability of critical systems across the logistics chain.
