Why it matters
Infrastructure upgrades are critical for businesses to maintain efficiency and support the growing computational demands of modern software.
CMTG has upgraded its private cloud platform with Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 servers using AMD EPYC 9475F processors, a move it says cut CPU utilisation by 70%.
The infrastructure refresh also reduced RAM usage by 10%, while customers reported faster application performance, including SQL reports running up to three times faster.
The Perth-based managed service provider, which offers private cloud, virtual desktop infrastructure, data storage and application hosting services to Australian small and medium-sized businesses, replaced server hardware nearing the end of its service life. It aimed to improve customer experience and create room for more demanding workloads, including artificial intelligence applications.
The updated platform remains based on Lenovo servers with VMware and Citrix virtualisation layers. CMTG said the new configuration improved virtual desktop performance while lowering the compute resources needed to support them.
