Server Consolidation Reduces Operational Costs and Improves Reliability

Many data centers operate with tremendously underutilized hardware and software. Large data centers are overly diverse, complex, and difficult to cool and power placing an unnecessary burden on support staff. This waste and complexity can cause millions of dollars of waste in a data center every year. 

Consolidation strategies have gained widespread acceptance as the primary way in which organizations can resolve server sprawl and associated issues. The challenge with consolidation of any type lies in the planning.  Complex environments have many constraints that impact performance, reliability, compliance, cost, security and manageability. Too often organizations limit planning to an examination of workloads, which creates unnecessary risk. When dealing with hundreds or thousands of servers, organizations require powerful analytical support in order to confidently develop and execute on consolidation strategies
