MICROS Systems, Inc. Announces Deployment of MICROS 9700 HMS at M Resort Spa Casino in Las Vegas
MICROS Application Services Enabled by a Single Cluster Utilizing VMware Virtual Infrastructure
COLUMBIA, Md., March 1 -- MICROS Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MCRS), a leading provider of information technology solutions for the hospitality and retail industries, is pleased to announce that the M Resort Spa Casino has implemented the MICROS 9700 Hospitality Management System (HMS), MICROS iCare, and MICROS Guest Connection. The single solution comprises over 120 MICROS point-of-sale (POS) workstations, coordinating operations among fine dining restaurants, bars, wine cellar, buffet, casino floor bars, room service, quick service, outside pool bars, retail, pharmacy and convenience store with gas station all on combination of MICROS 2010's and MICROS Workstation 5's. The MICROS 9700 HMS system went live in March 2009 utilizing VMware Virtual Infrastructure.
As the newest four-star resort in Las Vegas, the M Resort promises an unrivaled standard of personal service and resort amenities. After deploying MICROS 9700 in a virtual environment, the M Resort soon realized four significant advantages: enhanced technology scalability; disaster recovery which provides the ability to test and recover from a variety of system outages requiring less time and fewer resources; a higher degree of availability without incurring additional infrastructure costs; and virtualization, which saves on emissions output and electricity consumption, making the MICROS offering a more eco-friendly solution.
"The ability to offer table management, restaurant reservations, gift cards and POS all from one provider has been very beneficial. The ability for MICROS 9700 HMS to join the VMware cluster was not just practical; it became an early requirement in the system selection criterion," stated Rob Willis, Vice President of Information Technology, M Resort.
"We are very pleased to have been selected by the M Resort," stated Ed Chapel, Senior Vice President, MICROS North American Distribution. "IT organizations often gravitate toward virtualization to deliver operating cost reductions. These same organizations also benefit from a liberated environment where their emphasis can be directed at application delivery rather than the underlying technology. M Resort acknowledges the increasingly dynamic demands upon its resources and, with the implementation of a virtual environment, can respond to market dynamics faster and more efficiently than ever before."
