Flexibility and reliability to meet demand
To meet increasing demand, Camelot is developing a new interactive gaming platform, which requires a flexible and reliable datacenter back-end. Camelot also needs to ensure its critical business processes and 50 ERP systems are underpinned by robust technologies.
The datacenter environment will support our efforts to keep operating costs as low as possible, while enabling us to launch exciting new online games.

Designing and deploying IBM technologies
Camelot partnered with us to benchmark and evaluate a number of datacenter solutions to support its ERP environment and online gaming platform. Based on a TCO analysis and proof of concept exercise, the two companies selected a solution based on IBM technologies. We worked alongside IBM to design, configure and deploy the solution across Camelot's two datacenters.
