NEW YORK, NY (May 5, 2009)

The Longaberger Company, the country’s premier maker of handcrafted baskets, has renewed its contract with IPsoft for managed services.

For the past six years, Longaberger has relied on IPsoft for deployment, procurement and full management of systems, database, network, applications and storage environments. IPsoft has handled Longaberger’s day-to-day system and process fault management, remediation, application upgrades, database management, network management and backup management.

To best meet Longaberger’s needs, IPsoft redesigned the company’s entire IT infrastructure. IPsoft analyzed Longaberger’s network environment, architecture and performance and developed an infrastructure that balances business requirements with applications needs, traffic and performance requirements and best industry practices.

Longaberger’s physical infrastructure now relies heavily on virtualization, which has many benefits. Multiple virtual systems can run on one physical system – which not only saves space, but also saves power and reduces costs.  Additional virtual systems are quickly and efficiently deployed by cloning existing systems.
