The First American Corporation is America’s largest provider of business information. The company operates within five primary business segments, including: Title Insurance and Services, Specialty Insurance, Mortgage Information, Property Information and First Advantage.
Having completed numerous acquisitions and operating within diverse lines of business, First American found itself with multiple data centers in a variety of locations throughout the country. In consolidating these facilities, First American turned to VMware Infrastructure 3 technology to support that effort. “Once the server consolidation project was underway, we experienced the benefits of VMware Infrastructure 3 firsthand,” says Jake Seitz, an enterprise architect at First American. “It has greatly simplified IT management while significantly reducing the footprint of our data center. We’ll be taking a similar approach to our desktop infrastructure by using VMware Virtual Desktop Infrastructure to replace our existing desktops with thin clients. Every efficiency we capitalize on by using VMware technology helps make us a greener, more efficient organization.”
