Pittsford, NY, September 2, 2009
Pittsford, NY,
September 2, 2009 - Infinite Group, Inc. (IMCI.OB) today announced
that the Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services
(ITS) has awarded the company a three-year contract to deliver
virtualization services to state agencies via Request for Proposal
(RFP) No. 3585. Commencing in the fall of 2009, the agreement with
Infinite Group, Inc. (IGI) is part of Mississippi’s larger strategy
to streamline government operations and to address issues of IT
modernization.
Under terms of the agreement, various
Mississippi state agencies can engage Infinite Group to virtualize
servers and migrate applications into ITS’ virtual data center
environments, housed in the State Data Center facilities in the
Jackson, Mississippi area. Infinite Group will manage and implement
server consolidations that will migrate physical servers to virtual
machines, using VMware vSphere technology – reducing the number of
physical servers, with resulting benefits in both physical footprint
and energy savings.
“We are very pleased that the state of
Mississippi has recognized IGI’s expertise in the virtualization
arena,” said Jim Frost, IGI’s Chief Technology Officer. “Our team of
VMware Certified Professionals is looking forward to engaging across
a number of state agencies to deliver business benefits from
virtualization technology.”
The Mississippi Department of
Human Services (MDHS) is the first agency planned for server
virtualization services through Infinite Group, and more are
expected to follow as the benefits of virtualization become
documented locally. Mississippi state agencies will be the primary
customer base served by IGI under the agreement, but other public
entities in the State will also be enabled to procure virtualization
services from IGI under the contract.
