Atos Origin is an international information technology services company. Its business is turning client vision into results through the application of Consulting, Systems Integration and Managed Operations.

Atos Origin’s highly successful outsourcing operations manage core IT infrastructures for clients. To help maximise use of available data centre space and to reduce power consumption and associated costs, Atos Origin virtualises as much of its server environment as possible. At present, due to performance limitations and the need to adhere to customers’ strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) it runs, on average, four to six Virtual Machines (VMs) per physical server in its production environments. To increase this number further, and with a view to extending the virtualised environment to run more mission-critical applications, Atos Origin was keen to evaluate the advanced performance and virtualisation capabilities of the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series.
