What is Server Consolidation?
Server Consolidation is a response to the problem of “server sprawl”, a situation in which multiple, under-utilized servers take up more space and consume more resources than can be justified by their workload.
Server Consolidation involves the streamlining of infrastructure assets and processes for the purpose of maximizing the operation and cost-effectiveness of your IT environment. This is achieved by reducing the total number of servers or server locations your organization requires.
The Benefits of Server Consolidation:
- Reduction in Total Cost of Ownership: Consolidating servers means organizations can decrease costs by reducing the number of servers, software licenses, and server locations.
- Simplified Environment: Centralizing and upgrading your server systems gives you greater control over your IT infrastructure.
- Management Efficiency: Standardizing your server environment can improve systems management and increase server utilization.
- Increased Performance: Transforming the IT environment by integrating servers, storage and networking resources can substantially improve performance and product reliability.
- Enhance Green IT Objectives: Strategic infrastructure consolidation can greatly increase energy efficiency.
Blade Servers
A blade server is chassis housing for multiple, thin electronic circuit boards, known as server blades. Each blade is a server in its own right, generally dedicated to a single application. This is a simple and effective way to consolidate
and make use of under utilized server resources.
The use of blade servers and virtual server technology are quickly accelerating the expansion of the already proven benefits of consolidation.
