Sterling & Intel Past Performances

Federal Agency Optimization

Sterling partnered with a Systems Integrator to deliver a critical solution for a Federal Agency, optimizing their operations and infrastructure. We provided comprehensive warehousing services and over 400 Dell Technologies servers, each powered by Intel Xeon 6737Ps processors – totaling over 800 high-performance CPUs. This strategic approach allowed the agency to overcome space limitations and receive essential hardware in staggered batches, all while maintaining consistent, predictable costs. The client not only significantly exceeded their workload requirements but also gained the agility to effectively scale their infrastructure, ensuring they could meet the evolving demands of their mission sets.

A federal agency came to Sterling for the procurement of high-performing client devices as well as additional systems capable of AI workloads. Sterling worked through our contract vehicles and with industry partners to provide a secure turnkey solution that met their stringent requirements. Our team deployed over 1,000 rugged systems utilizing 12th generation Intel Core i7-1260U processors as well as an additional 259 AI PCs leveraging Intel Core Ultra 5 235H along with vPro Enterprise. We met the customers unique logistical challenges including scheduled on time deployment to over 60 worldwide sites through use of our secure warehouse facilities and logistics teams.
