Server Consolidation/Virtualization

 

Resource Center
The average server workload ranges from five to 40 percent, reducing data storage capacities and increasing associated costs, such as additional hardware and IT staffing. Server consolidation through virtualization provides the cure to server sprawl and optimizes storage capacity.

Virtualization technology presents computing resources in ways that users and applications can easily get the most value out of them, rather than presenting them in a way dictated by their implementation or geographic location. The data from different servers can be accessed from one server, and resources such as computing power and storage capacity are optimized and maintained through one central portal.

Check in at the Server Consolidation/Virtualization Resource Center for the latest information about how to get started with your server consolidation project, storage techniques, virtualization tools, product news, cost analysis and other ways to get the most business impact from your server resources with consolidation and virtualization.
