"Virtualisation has allowed WWF to simply manage our IT infrastructure and create an effective disaster recovery practice. After experiencing these benefits in our UK office, my IT team has been urging all of our other offices to 'go virtual.' Our aim is for the entire global operation of WWF to run on VMware and dramatically reduce our carbon footprint through virtualisation." Ian Exton, Network Manager, WWF-UK
K E Y H I G H L I G H T S WWF United Kingdomi n d u s t r y : n o n - p r o f i t WWF is the the world's largest and most experienced independent conserva-tion organisation. It operates a global network of offices in more than 90 coun-tries. WWF has five million supporters worldwide, and around 90 percent of its income derives from voluntary sources such as individuals and the business community.
