Server Consolidation

Server consolidation is increasingly popular as a proven way to reduce costs in the datacentre. Many companies have taken advanatage of low cost servers; and built large scale systems to support their business. Unfortunately, these servers are expensive to run, expensive to manage and require a lot of manpower to administer.

It is widely agreed that servers running in most organisations are at 15-20% capacity, which given the current economic enovironment may not be sustainable. As a result of these figures, server consolidation is a proven way to cut unnecessary costs and maximise return on investment in the datacentre.

Server consolidation is the process of reducing the number of servers within your business by utilising them more efficiently. Reducing the number of servers your business relies on, yet maintaining (or improving) the level of service means that server consolidation is high on the business agenda as well as the IT agenda.
