Server Consolidation

Companies which have several machines in such roles as firewall, DNS server, email server, web server or file server, find that:

• the machines are running at much less than full capacity - underutilized
• high cost of maintenance
• large floor space or rack space required
• high electricity and cooling costs.

Such installations can benefit greatly from server consolidation. This involves combining two or more server roles on to one item of hardware utilizing virtualization technology. It enables the total number of hardware boxes to be reduced down to as little as one. Considerable savings result:

• fewer machines with much improved utilization
• much reduced maintenance cost
• much reduced floor space or rack space
• much reduced electricity and cooling costs.
