INX Deploys Green Technology in City of Walnut Creek, California

INX Inc. announced that the City of Walnut Creek, Calif. has qualified for an energy rebate due to its virtualization project with INX.

Many public entities are offering businesses tax incentives and rebates for energy efficient initiatives. California public utility companies have one of the nation's most progressive programs promoting energy efficiency and clean energy. A regional utility company in Northern California has created a customized incentive program for business energy efficiency retrofit projects involving the installation of high-efficiency equipment or systems called the Non-Residential Retrofit or NRR Rebate Program. The City of Walnut Creek recently received the rebate for its virtualization project that qualified for the NRR program.

Walnut Creek awarded INX a contract to design and implement a multiphase virtualization solution that included a server consolidation effort, a backup and recovery solution, and a virtual desktop initiative. INX was awarded the competitively bid contract based on its ability to offer a virtualization project that could meet the city's business objectives. The project leverages virtualization technology from VMware to create efficiencies in data management thereby decreasing the amount of servers required and increasing the reliability of application and data delivery. The virtualization technology also enables the city to eliminate traditional desktop computers and replace them with low energy consuming terminals. The applications move to the data center where they are centrally managed and deployed, which drives down costs, while enhancing the user computing experience. The project encompasses all city entities and employees including the Police Department.

INX is a provider of data center virtualization and IP communications for enterprise organizations. We offer a suite of technology solutions focused around the entire life-cycle of enterprise data center infrastructure and IP network communications.
